M&M Cookies

The very best eggless M&M Cookies you’ll ever eat! A simple cookie fancied up with candies like M&M, Gems or whatever your heart desires!

Cooking up some good ol’ cookie love today!

Make ’em however your heart desires! Soft, Crispy, Thick, Thin, Chewy, Crunchy, with the M&M, without the M&M, with the brown sugar, without the brown sugar….. Well, you can see this really is a versatile recipe!

But after 3 trials, this is how I like them – A little on the thicker side, not too crunchy or soft, with the brown sugar, a little mocha flavor thrown in for good measure; aaaaaaand loaded with M&Ms! Or, the Indian substitute we get here – Gems! 🙂

Add the vanilla, instant espresso powder, M&M (or Gems candy) and mix together well

Sift in the flour, salt, baking powder. Mix to form a soft dough. If it is too thick, add a spoon of milk. If it is too sticky, cover & stick it in the fridge to chill for 30 minites

Form large or small sized balls from the cookie dough, flatten it ever so slightly and place on the prepared baking sheet. Stick some M&M / Gems candy all over the top of the cookie dough

Bake at 180 C for 10-12 minutes. Let it cool completely. Remove & store in air tight container. Serve as required!
