How to Make Giant M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies

Step 1:Line two baking sheets with parchment and preheat the oven to 400°F. With a mixer, cream the butter and sugars.

Step 2:Beat in the eggs and vanilla, then stir in the other dry ingredients until combined. Mix in the candies and chocolate chips.

Step 3:Scoop out 1/4 cup of the dough mixture and roll into a ball, place on the baking sheet and flatten slightly, fitting six cookies per pan.

Step 4:Bake 11-13 minutes until the edges are golden. Remove from the oven and let cool 5 minutes in the pan before moving them to a cooling rack.

Recipe FAQs

What kind of M&Ms and chocolate chips do you use?

This is totally your preference! You can use any combination of mini M&Ms, regular M&Ms, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and milk chocolate chips.

What does cold butter do in cookies?

Cold butter is often used in scone and biscuit making to create nice layers throughout the pasties, and when used in cookies, it holds air to create better structure in the cookies. It allows them to not completely spread and collapse as they bake, which is important for such large cookies.

How long do M&M and chocolate chip cookies last?

Not long, in my household! 🤣 But if you have more self-control than we do, these cookies will last for up to a week in an airtight container or sealable bag in the fridge. You can also freeze baked cookies or raw dough for up to 2 months.

Expert Tips

Freezing Dough:Freeze the dough balls and you’ll have cookies ready to throw in the oven at all times. Just make the dough, form the 1/4-cup dough balls, and pop them in the freezer on a baking sheet so they can freeze individually. Transfer them to a freezer-safe container after a couple of hours, and just bake them for an extra 5 minutes whenever you’re ready to make them.
Cookie Scoop Tip:Use your spring-loaded ice cream scoop to easily portion the dough. A standard ice cream scoop holds 1/4 cup!
Extra Pretty:To make these cookies look a little fancier,press extra candies into the topof the flattened dough before baking. The colors will really pop!
