These are the kind of cookies that just make you smile when you see them. Simple and sweet, full of chocolate, and stuffed with so many bright and happy candy-colored gems. They’ll make you want to take a great big satisfying bite.
Most of the ingredients you need are probably in your pantry right now if you bake often. I did opt for some Guittard 60% semisweet chocolate wafers instead of chocolate morsels, though. Oh and there’s a little peanut butter mixed in for even more yum.
Look at that cookie dough batter. So thick. So dreamy.
Add the M&M’s and chocolate wafers to the dough and mix it all together with a large spoon.
You can use a large 2-1/2 inch scoop for jumbo-sized cookies.
Place the giant cookie dough balls a few inches apart on a parchment paper covered baking sheet. You’ll want to press more M&M’s candies on top so when they bake, the exterior is dotted with lots of color.
You can also place the candies in a bowl and gently press each scoop of dough into the bowl for candies to attach. Just make sure they are pressed in enough to stay secure when baking.
These cookies are big, so place them a few inches apart on a baking sheet.
Bake these beauties for about 9-11 minutes. If they are staying too domed when baking, take them out at about 9 minutes, drop the baking sheet on the counter 1-2 times and then place back in the oven for another minute or so.
And of course you have to eat one while they are still warm right out of the oven. It’s a rule. Place on a cooling rack to cool completely… if you can wait that long.
But you probably won’t be able to stop there.
Have another bite, I won’t tell.
Okay, maybe one more.
These are so good and kind of remind me of biting into a brownie.

Enjoy! Hope your day is as happy as these cookies.
I loved this recipe so much . It’s really awesome
This blog is definitely helpful and informative. Great blog by the way and thanks for sharing these!
I have made these delicious cookies 3 different times. These are my son and nephew’s new favorite. I did not add the peanut butter. I’m sure it helps to bind the batter and gives a different flavor profile. By eliminating the peanut butter, it makes it VERY chocolately! These are a BIG hit! We’ll be making these again and again! Thank you SO much for sharing this recipe.
Playing w cookie recipe is always my hobby. And this is truly a best time to have my nieces accompany with me in this recipe :}
