OMG! These OMG! Soft-Batch Mini M&M & Chocolate Chip Cookies could be the perfect ending (or start!) of each and every day, from this point forward, if it was up to my, what do you call it? The “Better half”?
Yup, that would be my SO =“insignificant other”, “the mister”, “the old ball and chain”, “my plus one”, “my boo”, “The object of my affection”, ‘The Bae”, “My soul-mate”…shall I go on?
My baby has been begging me. No…wait!
‘Whining‘ is the appropriate verbiage, for months for me to make him some M&M Cookies.
“Oh, and MAKE SURE you use the mini-M&M Chocolate Candies and the mini chocolate chips, nothing else.” — he says.
“NO other add-ins! That’s it!” — he says.
“Ok, command and you shall receive, my love.” — I said.
Ok, in reality, it was about 2 months later when I finally got to it for these. 😉
Sometimes, my ‘better half’ can sometimes drive me insane about his obsessing about his cookies and he doesn’t let it go until he gets them, and then he’s as sweet as can be.
He loves these Perfect Thin & Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookies too!
Verdict? They were good. Like really, really good.
Like soft, fluffy, bakery style, really, really good with random mini chocolate chips and mini M&M’s in every bite. Just like that!!
I know you’ll want to make these OMG! Soft-Batch Mini M&M & Chocolate Chip Cookies for your “better half”, because, after-all, they are, just that. Maybe, you’ll even get a nice dinner out of it! *Still waiting…*
Love M&M’s like a fat kid loves chocolate cake? I do and if you do too, you could bake these M&M treats!

Notes
I made a revision to the recipe -- reduced the flour to 1 1/3 cup from 1 1/2 cup from original recipe.
Adapted recipe over at: Picky Palate
I just tried these, they tasted great. The only thing is that they came out crispy/crunchy instead of soft. I took them out of the oven when they were still pale so not over baked. And they stayed in ball shapes, didnt flatten. I may have used too much flour, I’m not sure. I had to flatten them by hand. But the flavor was yummy!
It does sound like you used too much flour, so maybe next time use a little less and it should remedy the issues that you had. Thank you so much for trying them Keri!! xo
So I decided to try and make these again but this time I weighed my flour! They turned out fantastic! They actually look pretty close to the ones in the pictures! I certainly added too much flour last time! So good!
I’m really happy that you decided to remake these Keri and they turned out fantastic! That is the best news this morning! Thank you for letting me know! 🙂
I’ve made this recipe several times and they always turn out PERFECT! If you’ve stumbled across this recipe, look no further – these cookies will not disappoint! Chocolate and candy in every single bite. Delectably soft and golden brown.
Thank you so much for the raving review Shayna! I’m so glad you enjoy them!! xo
I did mini chocolate chips and mini andes chocolates and it was amazing! Best cookie recipe ever!!!
My husband loves cookies … I made these yesterday and he’s already eaten almost half of them. He said that this is now the only recipe I can make! Thank you for the great recipe.
Can this dough be made ahead of time like a couple days then bake?
Chill the batter in the refrigerator up to three days if you want to make these ahead of time. I might not add in the m&m’s until I bake them though in the case the colors might bleed. Hope you enjoy!
