Our 4-Year-Old’s Favorite Cookies
Our son, Teo, currently thinks that mini M&Ms are the best candy “on the whole entire planet.” So this fall when I surprised him with a batch of warm chocolate M&M cookies one day after school, his little 4-year-old mind was blown. 😉
Honestly, though, what’s not to love? These cookies bake up perfectly soft and chewy with colorful M&Ms in every bite. The dough comes together quickly with simple pantry staples and whatever M&Ms you love best (we used a mix of mini and regular in the batch shown here). And if you happen to also have tiny sous chefs at home, you should definitely enlist them to poke the final M&Ms on top — it’s adorable, and delightfully foolproof.
We decided to make ours “bakery-sized”, to squeeze the maximum amount of M&Ms into each cookie. But you’re more than welcome to bake these up as standard-sized cookies if you’d prefer. Let’s make some!
