Is there such a thing as too much chocolate? We think not. And we’ll prove it with these chewy chocolate chip M&M cookies!!!
We took our beloved Chocolate Chip Cookies and basically combined them with our M&M Cookies. The result – a new, simple favorite cookie recipe! Not only does this have TWO kinds of chocolate chips, but it also includes both crushed and whole M&M candies.
Are you drooling yet? While we prefer milk chocolate chips, the semi-sweet chips add that special touch to compliment the M&Ms. But feel free to substitute your M&M of choice to change it up.
As with all cookies, these taste great with a cold glass of milk!
Why we think you’ll love it:
- Packed with M&Ms. If you love all things M&M like we do, you’ll LOVE these cookies!
- Great for sharing. One batch makes about 36 cookies, but it’s easy to double to make even more!
- A cinch! As with all cookies, this is one easy recipe! You’ll be dunking cookies in milk in under 15 minutes.

Does the recipe call for one cup of chocolate chips divided into milk and semi-sweet as the two types of chocolate chips? I only see milk chocolate chips in the ingredients list, but it looks like two different ones are in the picture.
Took me a second to realize the two kind of chocolate chips mentioned in the description are traditional Chocolate chips and M&M chips. I love the added color that the chopped N&M’s give. Since a fun and easy cookie to make.
Another favorite cookie! I like the combination of chocolate chips and m&ms. So yummy!
Nothing better than an m&m & chocolate chip cookie! I can’t resist them! These are soft & chewy, with a nice little crunch from the m&m.
