Super yummy Cookies made with Peppermint White Chocolate M&M’s! Each cookie has a sugary, peppermint, chocolate taste to them.
Cookie Week continues!
Yesterday it was The Best Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies, today it’s Peppermint M&M Cookies. Are you ready for this?
One of my favorite candy treats of the holiday season is Peppermint M&Ms. They are white chocolate, they are red and white festive candies and they just scream “The holidays are here!”. Well they don’t scream it, they sing it to you softly because M&MS are very polite. With these cookies, I have a pretty hard time making them due to the amount of M&M snacking I do in the process. It goes something like this, shape a cookie, eat a few M&Ms, shape a cookie, eat a few M&Ms, repeat, repeat. I should really start buying 2 bags of M&M for this baking session, one for cookies and one for my belly.
I love these cookies because they have a sugary, peppermint, chocolate taste to them. In each bite you get a nice taste of peppermint crunch from the M&Ms. If you like peppermint bark at all, I think you will love these. Hope you enjoy these cookies! As always, be sure to grab a couple when snacking. 🙂

I always double the amount of M&M’s a recipe calls for because I know heavy snacking will definitely happen! 😉 Great looking cookies – these sound awesome. Thanks.
Consuelo @ Honey & Figs says
Every time I try making m&m’s cookies I end up eating most of the m&m’s… They are so dangerous!
Your cookies look awesome, and they are really really festive so I looove them 😀

The peppermint M&Ms are the best but are almost always out at my store. I just love these cookies dear!!!
Chris @ Shared Appetite says
I so love M&Ms in my cookies. But I’m like you… often times the little candy-coated morsels of goodness never reach the cookie dough batter!
sandra says
I didn’t know these things existed! Got to search them out! Love mint during this season.

Davida @ The Healthy Maven says
There’s a bulk store a few blocks from my office and I have been consuming peppermint white chocolate M&Ms like it’s my job….oh and the hersheys peppermint kisses too. The only thing I’m going to miss about my office!
Amy @ Elephant Eats says
Ok, so how have I never heard of peppermint m&ms?! I love anything peppermint in the winter and those are such a good way to add peppermint flavor to desserts. I LOVE peppermint bark so then I know I will love these…although I knew that anyway 🙂
Joanne says
The peppermints are my favorite of all the seasonal m&ms. But you’re right…it is hard to do anything with them other than just eat them!! Totally loving these cookies. Hopefully I can save some for them!
Mary Frances @ The Sweet {Tooth} Life says

Yum, these cookies look delicious Pamela! Love peppermint and chocolate especially during this time of year! Love those Peppermint M&M’s and stock up on them since I’m the same way and can’t stop snacking on them when I bake with them too hehe. These look like the perfect festive cookies 🙂

Such cute and sweet red and white peppermint M&M drop cookies, Pamela! I must say that I am enjoying your vertical images…so much better to pin with, my dear! Plus, your style and photography is really showcased well this way. I’ve never tried the white chocolate peppermint M&Ms. I’m hoping there is no dairy in them. Cannot wait to try this recipe, girl. Cookie week has been fun and I can’t wait to see what else you bake up! Pinning (of course)! xo

The past few years I’ve added M&M cookies to my Christmas cookie tray because I can’t pass up on festive candies.

I have a bag of those M&Ms left but something tells me that they won’t be making it into cookie form. 😀

Mmm, I love M&M cookies. Especially warm out of the oven and the M&M’s are still partially melted inside. Hurray for dessert within dessert!
