Cookies and M&Ms are two of my favorite sweet treat indulgences. It’s hard for me to say no to a cookie and it’s hard for me to pass up a few M&Ms. One of my favorite types of cookie is a cookie with M&M’s in it. So I made these M&M Easter Cookies to enjoy during Easter!
Mmmm. Don’t those look delicious? And quite festive, I might add. I made those little gems yesterday afternoon. I wanted to make a sweet treat with an Easter theme, since Easter is this weekend. I had some Easter M&Ms so I decided to make Easter M&M Cookies! I hope you enjoy this recipe.

Mine did not come out so well. I followed the recipe closely but my cookie balls never flattened out like they were supposed to so subsequently the edges did not brown until the cookies were over cooked. Still tasty but dry and had had a grainy texture.

These look cute. They will work perfect in an Easter basket. Instead of eggs, cookies could be used. I think the kids would enjoy it more. After all, who can eat a basket full of hard boiled eggs? Thanks for sharing!
