These teeny tiny mini M&M cookies are bite-sized, buttery, and adorable! I love making these cookies around the holidays because they are great gap-fillers on cookie trays AND there’s no dough chilling required.
I swear you’re not seeing things. These cookies are, indeed, itty bitty teeny tiny. You can probably fit about 5 in your mouth at once, but considering how much we love cookies around here… I’d say closer to 10. 😉
We’re using a basic chocolate chip cookie dough with M&Ms instead of chocolate chips. These mini cookies are scaled WAY down to be just a little larger than a quarter. There’s absolutely no dough chilling required (yay!). They’re soft in the centers and chewy on the edges, much like these regular chocolate chip cookies.
And if you need a bazillion cookies for gift-giving or bringing into the office… this recipe yields 85. LOL.
There’s NO cookie dough chilling today! We start with a basic soft-baked chocolate chip cookie dough base. Nothing too fancy or complicated, just the usual gang: butter, sugars, flour, egg, etc. Use mini M&Ms. If you reach for the regular size M&Ms, you’ll only fit, like, 2 in each cookie. Each mini cookie needs to be full of festive M&Ms, so mini size is best. Let’s review:
Baker’s Tip: Use a teaspoon to measure the cookie dough per cookie. You’ll probably feel extremely silly doing this and I admit… it’s entertaining. The cookie dough balls are SO SMALL. You’re rolling 85 of them and that definitely takes a few minutes. So grab a helping hand (or a few little bakers!) and get a kick out of it together. If you can’t handle the thought of rolling all that dough, try making these soft M&M cookie bars instead.
These mini M&M cookies are hilariously small and perfectly pop-able.
Adorably tiny and perfectly popable mini M&M cookies are a hit with adults and kids alike!
