Halloween Chocolate M&M Cookies
Soft centers, crispy outside and triple the chocolate.. These M&M cookies have it all!
We are just 5 days away from Halloween so I thought this gloomy Monday before the holiday weekend was the perfect time to share these Halloween Chocolate M&M Cookies.
There are so many things to love about M&M Cookies. You can use the classic M&M’s or festive holiday colored/flavored ones like these Ghouls Mix M&M’s for Halloween. Another way to customize your M&M cookies is to pick a chocolate cookie dough or your classic cookie dough. I went with the chocolate dough, because I LOVE the way it looks with the Ghouls Mix M&M’s. Each option uses a fairly simple dough recipe making these a quick and easy cookies to make for events, with the kids or for a quick dessert.
If you’re a fellow chocolate lover, these cookies are for you! They pull chocolate from the M&M’s, Mini Chocolate Chips and Chocolate Cookie Dough for triple the chocolaty goodness!
