Christmas M&M Rolled Cookies

When the holiday season rolls around, one of the most cherished traditions is the baking and sharing of Christmas cookies. M&M cookies are a fun and festive twist on the classic chocolate chip cookie. Made with a soft, chewy dough, these cookies are packed with colorful, candy-coated chocolate candies—M&Ms—that add a crunchy texture and burst of sweetness in every bite. The combination of the rich, buttery cookie base with the vibrant candy coating makes these cookies a hit for both kids and adults alike.

With their bright colors and irresistible taste, M&M cookies bring joy and nostalgia with every bite—making them a timeless treat that never goes out of style. These cookies are just like my Great American Copycat M&M Cookies! The only difference is the scooping size and bake time is reduced to a smaller cookie. This keeps the cookies from spreading as much (although nothing wrong with a larger chewy cookie!) and also gets you more M&Ms in each bite. I love the M&M surface area to cookie ratio on this one. 🙂
