One Bowl M&M’s Cookies are a simple sugar cookie with delicious bites of M&M’s candies. Made in one bowl so clean-up is easy! This sweet treat can easily be customized with seasonal M&M’s for any holiday or occasion.
Sometimes the best recipes come from making do with what you can find in your pantry! Earlier this week I was making dinner to bring to my sister-in-law who just had a baby. I wanted to make some cookies for my nieces and nephews, but didn’t have any chocolate chips in the house.
At first I was going to make monster cookies with the M&M’s I had, but I didn’t have enough peanut butter. So I put on my thinking cap and came up with this recipe.
The base for these cookies is a simple sugar cookie. If you don’t have M&M’s in the house, you could turn these into chocolate chip cookies or top with sprinkles.
How to Customize these Cookies
If it’s not Christmas time, you could use regular M&M’s or another seasonal version to match whatever holiday you are baking for! You can also use chocolate chips, sprinkles or nuts in this recipe instead of M&M’s.
