The humble chocolate chip cookie, with its charmingly mottled appearance and comforting chew, is a true classic of American bake sales and family gatherings. The addition of M&Ms brings a festive burst of color and a slightly crunchy texture that makes these cookies even more delightful. This M&M Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe is perfect for when you want to add a little pizzazz to your dessert table or simply enjoy a classic treat with a twist.
These colorful cookies are perfect on their own, but for a truly indulgent treat, try pairing them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a glass of cold milk. They also make a beautiful addition to a dessert platter or as a cheerful snack for a children’s party.
