The Best m and m christmas cookie recipe
I love making these M and M Christmas cookies with my kids every year. They are so simple to put together and the colorful M and Ms make them look so festive. My family goes crazy for them and they disappear from the cookie plate in no time. This recipe uses basic ingredients you probably already have in your pantry, so it is perfect for a last-minute holiday treat. Plus, using M and Ms means you get a little bit of chocolate in every bite, which always makes everyone happy. They are not the healthiest cookie, but using a bit less sugar and adding some oats gives them a little more fiber, so I do not feel too bad about having one or two with my coffee.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About M and M Christmas Cookies
1. Can I use other types of M and Ms in this recipe?
Yes, you can use any variety of M and Ms, such as peanut, almond, or even mini M and Ms. Just keep in mind that peanut M and Ms will add a different texture and may require a slightly longer bake time.
2. How should I store these cookies?
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. To keep them soft, add a slice of bread to the container, which helps absorb excess moisture.
3. Can I freeze the cookie dough?
Absolutely. You can freeze the unbaked cookie dough balls on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. Bake from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the bake time.
4. Why did my cookies spread too much?
If your cookies spread too much, your butter might have been too soft or your dough was not chilled. Make sure your butter is softened but not melted, and consider chilling the dough for 15 to 20 minutes before baking.
5. Can I make these cookies gluten-free?
Yes, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking flour blend. The texture may be slightly different, but they will still be delicious. Also, check that your M and Ms are certified gluten-free if needed.
