Easter M&M Cookies are my families favorite holiday recipe. A delicious chocolate chip cookie recipe full of the spring colored M&Ms that only come around at Easter. Yum!
Easter M&M Cookies
If you love baking for the holidays like we do, you are in the right place. There are so many delicious Easter recipes here. Don’t you just love the fun pastel colors of Easter? After the winter I get so excited to start seeing brighter things, especially in the candy aisle. 🙂
If you are planning an Easter Egg Hunt for a family gathering these are a great treat to sit out. I plan on making these to take over to my dads house this holiday. Hopefully I can get them there before they get eaten!
This batch makes 22 cookies so you should have plenty to take along. To make baking time go faster, use two pans to fit in every inch of room in your oven.
Tips For Delicious Cookies
- Don’t use margarine, only real sweet cream butter.
- Soften your butter at room temperature so it will mix easily, but do not melt it.
- Evenly level off your dry ingredients to make sure you use the exact right amount.
- Take your cookies out as soon as they start to brown around the edges. They will continue to cook some while sitting on the pan to cool.
