Ingredients for M&M’S Cookies
- 3 Tbs Butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chocolate bar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup flour
- 3 Tbs cocoa powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp espresso powder
- 1 cup M&M’S® Milk Chocolate Ghouls Mix Candies
How to Make M&M’S Cookies
You’ll want to start by preheating your oven to 325 degrees, Fahrenheit so it’s ready for the cookies when they’re finished being mixed!
Then, in a small bowl, melt butter and chocolate together in the microwave. Begin with 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted.
Cream melted chocolate and sugar together in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add in vanilla and eggs, beating one at a time until completely incorporated.
Mix flour, cocoa powder, salt, and espresso powder until combined. Stir in M&M’S® Milk Chocolate Ghouls Mix Candies. You might want to throw in a few extra into your mouth during this step. 😉
The batter will resemble a thick brownie batter.
How Long to Bake M&M’S Cookies
Using a large cookie scoop, add cookie dough to pan and place in oven.
Pro tip: line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup!
Once in the oven, drop the oven temperature to 300 degrees and bake for 16-19 minutes.
If you’re making multiple batches, make sure to preheat the oven back to 325 degrees before each new batch.
How to Store M&M’S Cookies
You can store cookies in an airtight container for three days on the counter.
Pro tip: if they start to get a little hard, place a piece of bread inside the container and it will soften the cookies back up.
These double chocolate M&M’S cookies will be making an appearance at my boy’s class Halloween parties this year and will make us the Best House on the Block. They’re sure to be a big hit with the colorful and fun M&M’S® Milk Chocolate Ghouls Mix Candies baked inside.

YUMMY!!! Cannot get enough of these!
The cookies tasted delicious and my hubby said they were too chocolatey as if there could be such a thing! The only thing, and I’m not sure why, they stayed rounded and didn’t flatten out. Any idea where that may have happened? I did not use espresso powder but I doubt that that would be the reason.
