Mini M&M Cookies Bite Sized.
Mini M&M Bite Sized Cookies. I took my sister’s recipe for full sized M&M cookies and changed it a little to make mini bite sized ones. I have seen similar cookies for sale at the grocery stores in the baked goods section and always think they look so cute.
I like to save some mini M&M’s for the top of the cookies. I press 3-4 mini M&M’s into the top of the cookie dough balls before baking. See photo below.
Recipe made about 40 mini cookies. Space cookies apart to give them room to flatten out. I put mine a little too close together and some stuck together.
