Chocolate Christmas Cookies are filled with M&Ms and holiday cheer. They are festive + sweet, and perfect for sharing!
Servings: 36 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups red and green M&Ms divided
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Chop 1/2 cup M&Ms in a nut chopper and set aside.
- In a stand mixer, cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until fluffy.
- Add flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt and mix until combined.
- Fold in chopped M&Ms.
- Scoop cookies out onto a greased cookie sheet and top with red & green M&Ms. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
- NOTE: I would not recommend topping the cookies with M&Ms after they are cooked. They tend not to stay on the cookie.
