Chocolate M&M Cookies

Fan of chocolate M&M’s? If so, I have the perfect cookie recipe for you.

These cookies are thick, soft, and have an irresistibly chewy centre. They are rich in chocolate flavour, infused with vanilla, and LOADED with M&M’s.

The best thing about this recipe is that you can use whichever M&M’s you want. I used milk chocolate, but you could use peanut, crispy, mint, etc.

Mint chocolate or peanut butter M&M’s used in these cookies would be a match made in heaven!

Ingredients you’ll need

Here’s a list of ingredients you’ll need to make these cookies. You can find my recipe card at the bottom of this post for the complete list with their amounts.

• Plain/all-purpose flour
• Cocoa powder: I used Hershey’s Natural Unsweetened Cocoa Powder.
• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• Cornflour/cornstarch: Makes for extra soft and thick cookies.
• Salt
• Unsalted butter: Melted.
• Light brown sugar: Using mostly brown sugar creates extra chewy cookies with a deeper flavour.
• Caster/granulated sugar
• Large egg
• Vanilla extract
• Chocolate M&M’s

How to make Chocolate M&M Cookies

To make these cookies, simply grab a medium mixing bowl and whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, cornflour, and salt. Set aside.

In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugars until combined.

Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.

Add the dry ingredients, and fold in until just combined.

Fold in the M&M’s.

Roll the dough into 2-oz balls (or use a medium cookie scoop), and place onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Bake for 10 – 12 minutes.

Allow to cool on the baking tray for 5 – 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

The printable recipe card with the FULL list of ingredients and instructions can be found at the bottom of this post.

NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements.

Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.

These Chocolate M&M Cookies are:

• super quick and easy to make
• incredibly thick, soft, and chewy
• rich in chocolate flavour
