Easter M&M Cookies

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I was in the mood to create a fun and easy Easter dessert this past weekend. So I decided to make these yummy Easter M&M Cookies. They turned out to be not only delicious, but festive as well.

These cookies would be perfect for an Easter party or get together. Or, if you’re just like me and craving an easy and simple Easter dessert! These are your classic chocolate chip cookie recipe, with just a dash of Easter flair.

And you get that flair from, you guessed it, the Easter M&M’s! I just love the pretty pastel colors to them. They scream Easter and can be easily added to any kind of dessert recipe to make it more festive in my opinion!

So get you a nice cold tall glass of milk and let’s get started making these yummy cookies for the Easter season this year!

Easter M&M Cookies

This post also contains affiliate links, which means I make a small commission off anything you purchase through here, at no additional cost to you. Please read my full disclosure policy for more details.

Ingredients Needed For Easter M&M Cookies

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, I used my homemade vanilla extract for this!
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup M&Ms (the pastel Easter kind)
Mixing Easter Cookie Dough Together

Make The Cookie Dough

The first thing you need to do is make the cookie dough obviously. Sift together the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt in a large bowl and set aside.

Combine the butter and both sugars in the bowl of a stand up mixer. Mix until well combined and then add in vanilla and the egg.

Easter Cookie Dough

After mixing that together, add the dry ingredients slowly into the wet ingredients in the mixer. Combine until throughly mixed and then fold in the chocolate chips and M&Ms.

Easter M&M Cookie Dough

Freeze the cookie dough for up to one hour or overnight before baking. When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool completely on wire rack. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week and enjoy!

Caraway Home Baking Sheet

Also, when baking y’all know I love to use my Caraway Home pans. They literally are the best! Nothing ever sticks to them! And you can always use my coupon code “MORNINGS_ON_MACEDONIA10” to get 10% off anything from their site as well!

Recipe Notes

Even though this is a super easy recipe, it does require a little time to make. So you need to consider the amount of time it takes for the butter and egg to come to room temperature. As well as freezing the cookie dough balls. You can do as little as an hour, or even overnight.

Depending on how much time you have! If you decide to leave them in the freezer overnight, be sure to let the cookie dough rest at room temperature for 10 minutes before placing cookies in the oven to bake.

Before Freezing Cookie Dough

When freezing, you can either leave the dough balls on the cookie sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Or you can just place all the dough balls into a freezer bag and freeze them that way. Which is what I did since I don’t have that much room in my freezer anyway!

Freezing Cookie Dough

If desired, you could also press more M&Ms into the top of the cookies as they come out of the oven. I did not do this because in my opinion there is plenty of chocolate already in the cookie. Especially with the chocolate chips too.

But, you could definitely do this to make them look even more festive for Easter! They also do puff up a bit, so by placing some M&Ms on top and pressing the cookie down, it will be more of a normal cookie shape! However, again, totally up to you and your preference!

Enjoy Your Easter M&M Cookies

I hope you enjoyed this easy and delicious recipe! And if you try them out, please let me know what you think! I love any kind of seasonal desserts. As you probably already know if you’ve been around here long enough!

I’ve shared a complete list of all my favorite Easter desserts in the past before too. So be sure to go check that out fi you missed it and are looking for more dessert inspiration!

      These have become my go-to cookies! Certainly don’t have to make them only for Easter! But red, white & blue M&M’s for 4th of July!
      They really are better than other M&M cookies on line… Thank you for sharing!

    The pastel colors on the remind me so much of Easter. This cookies would be ideal for any holiday. One would just have to swipe the color of the m&m.

      Exactly! You could easily do this at Christmastime too and just use the red and green M&Ms instead!
