There really aren’t many desserts that are better than warm homemade chocolate chip cookies. Something about them just makes me feel like a kid again. My kids (like most others) go crazy for M&M’s, so I decided to take our favorite chocolate chip cookies and add some in to create these Chewy M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies. These cookies are so soft, chewy and delicious, that both the kids and adults in your family will be begging you to make them over and over again. These are great for bake sales, parties or just a random weekday. You can also make a large batch of the cookie dough, scoop it, freeze it and save it for later. Go ahead and save this one now, because it may just be your new go-to cookie recipe!
Tips for making Chewy M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies:
- Although using a mixer makes things a little easier, it isn’t really necessary for this recipe. A couple bowls and a spatula will work just fine.
- I usually use dark brown sugar because it has more of that sweet rich molasses flavor, but light will work just fine as well.
- The secrets to making these cookies ultra chewy is the cornstarch and extra egg yolk. Whatever you do, DO NOT skip those two ingredients!
- Feel free to use just chocolate chips (double up if you are leaving the M&Ms out) or add in any of your other favorite ingredients!
