M&M Christmas Cookies

My M&M Christmas Cookies bake up thick, soft, and chewy. They're packed full of red and green M&M candies and white chocolate chips, but feel free to switch up the m&ms and bake them any time of year. They're quick and easy to make with no chilling required that we make these all the time.

Notes

This recipe does not need to be chilled before baking. It was created specifically to bake up thick and soft without chilling.

When measuring flour, spoon the flour into a dry measure and level it off. Be careful not to pack the flour into the measuring cup or you’ll have too much flour which will result in a ‘bready’ cookie.
