    Reasons We Love OUR Best-Ever M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies

    • Easy to make and yummy!  We're talking m&m's chocolate and cookies here!
    • Butter and eggs DO NOT have to come to room temperature.  These are better when you use cold butter to get the thick cookies you want and desire. 
    • We bake these cookies at 400 degrees fahrenheit. It's the perfect temperature to yield a puffier, thicker bakery style cookie with a crunchy exterior and delightfully soft center.  How's that for delicious red white and blue m&m cookies cookies?
    • Gluten free recipe Option!  Use gluten free flour easily to make these gluten free and healthier!  
    • Get the milk ready, these babies are ready to dunk!
    • Melts in your mouth with every bite, just like you'd expect!
    • Addictive
    • Perfect red white and blue chocolate chip cookie recipe when you want to celebrate the USA colors!

    How to Store Cookies

    • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days in an airtight container.  It probably won't happen, but at least you know!
    • Can't be trusted with a full batch of these cookies?  Make a small batch and halve the recipe!   Of course, these freeze well, so you always have that option!

    These cookies are great for your next BBQ outing, pool parties, USA partying or just when you want some happy m&m's and chocolate chip cookies in your life.  Which would be a good life, right?  Let's eat some cookies!
