These yummy Chewy M and M Sugar Cookies have a sugar cookie base filled with tons of M and M’s. Fun to share with friends and family.
Just a quick one today.
As you can see some days running my blog can be torture on the dog. 😛
It can be torture on my as well.
Seriously…what was I thinking trying to work full time, write for Tablespoon, go on vacation, and have a blog post up every day?
Oh that’s right I leave shampoo in the freezer (yes, that happened)…I don’t think anymore.
I was doing good until today and then I just hit a wall.
The brick kind.
Very sturdy.
It won.
This is short. 😀
These are some simple sugar cookies that my friend sent me a link to (that blog no longer exists).
Told me they were good.
She is the type of person when she says these are good, they are.
So I followed the link and found them.
I know it seems odd that it calls for 1 TBSP of sour cream but don’t skip that.
It helps make them chewy.
While I call for 2 cups of M and M’s you can feel free to use as many M and M’s that you wish.
Last but not least…it’s a great time to order my cookbook.

Chewy M and M Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter ,at room temperature
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar , packed
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 TBSP sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 cups M&M’s ,I may have used more 🙂
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 360°F.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, using a mixer, cream together the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and sour cream.
- Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.
- Add the flour, baking soda and salt and stir mix just until combined.
- Fold in the M&M’s. If you care about how they look you can add more to the tops.
- Refrigerate dough for at least an hour, though I prefer overnight. I usually make the dough a little bit before bedtime and then bake them in the morning.
- Using a large cookie scoop (about 3 Tablespoons), scoop the cookie dough onto the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are barely golden brown.
- Allow cookies to set on pan for 2 minutes as they continue to bake on the pan.
- Place cookies on a wire rack to cool.

I don’t remember which blog, but I started following you years ago after seeing you mentioned on another blog I was reading at the time. You’re one of the few that I actually visit rather than just glancing at in Google reader.

It was a link from another blog to one of your recipes.

Becca - Cookie Jar Treats says
It was last year (maybe the year before… years sort of run together for me. I had just finished watching an episode of Top Chef: Just Desserts. I wanted to look up more about it and when I did a search for the show, your blog popped up with a post about you doing the same kind of challenges the Top Chef contestants were doing. You said you were going to do it every week, so I decided to stick around to see what you came up with, but I think you only did like 2 or 3 posts on the subject, but that’s ok because I read previous posts of yours and then just fell in love. 🙂
Diane Faria says
I found you through a post on mojosavings about a snickerdoodle muffin that led me toeatmedelicious then to you! I pinned a few of your recipes so I can refer back to them and bookmarked your blog. I’m sure I’ll be back. Love the dog!

i found you via a link at http://www.cakespy.com. i would love to win these Trudeau Melamine Mixing Bowls in Assorted Bright Colors.
Diane says
I don’t remember how I found you. Maybe I was searching for more food blogs that had entertaining commentary? IDK. Some days, I’m visiting more to see what you say than when you made. I just like you!
Katie says
I have been following your blog for a couple of years now, I don’t even remember how I found it. I think it was a link on another blog I was reading and I just loved reading your blunt but so true stories!
Tanna says
Simple cookies, I’m for it … poor poor pup.
There is simply no way I could possibly remember how I came upon your blog, that is way too long ago.
Emily says
Well now…it must have been through my sister, the lovely and talented writer at Any Afternoon (www.anyafternoon.wordpress.com). I check in when I can use a helping of butter, sugar, and tell-it-like-it-is.
Gin says
But I don’t remember how I found your blog! I’ve been following you for a long time, and I honestly don’t remember!

i found your blog years ago when surfing and just kept coming back to “hear” your voice. i have enjoyed your company over the years. hope you enjoyed your vacation.
Carla says
I’ve been following your blog for years. I’m really not sure how I found you. I think I may have been googling for a recipe. I just remember enjoying our style and putting you in my reader feed right away.

I have no idea how I found your blog…I have been reading for at least 4 years, though and it was one of the first I started following.

I don’t remember how I found your blog, but it was probably through Googling for a recipe. I will have to try out these cookies with peanut butter M&Ms. 🙂
Ciara says
Those cookies look yummy! I think I found you back in the Daring Bakers era. I used to have a ton of food blogs in my reader but I’ve unsubscribed from most and yours is the only one I consistently read.
Amy says
How I found you? I’m guessing through a link from another cooking blog? Maybe? It’s been years.
Kara says
I found you last week on Pinterest – I was looking for a pull-apart roll recipe for some out-of-town guests. So, the friends have arrived and I’ve made three things for them from your blog: Maple bacon monkey bread, Oreo birthday bark, and Chocolate stout pie. I’m hooked!
Mellisa W says
You came highly reccommended by another blogger. Thanks!

Amy @ What Jew Wanna Eat says
I have no idea! I probably was searching for awesome baking blogs.
Alex says
I was searching for something insanely good and fun and came by a link to your recipe for Dorie Greenspan’s snickers amazing-ness. And though the first time I made them they were impossible to cut and people had to take bites from a communal block of dessert, I knew that the rest of the recipes would be wonderful as well 🙂
Tammie says
I’m not sure how I found your blog. Probably googling for a recipe a few years ago.
Wendy says
You have been in my feed reader forever, so I can’t recall how I stumbled across it. I have a ton of cooking blogs that I follow, but you are one of the top 3 for recipes I actually make/want to make!
CW says
It was a link from somewhere else…maybe a google search for food blogs…but I don’t really remember. Your’s was the first blog I started following.

P.S. I live with 2 cute cocker spaniels.

I think I was looking at recipes around the time of the Canada/USA hockey game during the last winter olympics and the picture of the maple cookies posed with the hat was linked to another blog. I couldn’t resist! The rest is history…

Those bowls look awesome! Definitely would like some of those. And hmm…..I can’t remember how I found your blog! It was either from FoodPornDaily or from another food blogger, but whatever the case, your blog is now in my bookmarks bar among a select few other food blogs! 😀
Also, your dog is adorable. Maybe someone can think of a way to make those cookies puppy friendly 😉
Kim K. says
I don’t remember…probably on a search looking for something sweet to make. But now you site is bookmarked and I visit frequently!

Oh geez, I think you came up in a google search when I was looking for pumpkin muffin recipes. Your white chocolate pumpkin muffins are still the best I’ve made!

Google searched for culinary recipes in blogs. I’ll check back again to see what else you have in store.

It was a couple years ago, and I can’t remember how, exactly. I’m sure it was from another blog or website.

I was searching for food blogs one day, and I think I found yours through another blog – which one, I can’t really remember.
stacy says
It could be any of the communities we’ve been in together (TK, LJ, TN) – I’m not sure anymore!
Merri says
Seems to be a running theme…I don’t know what blog I was reading, but I followed a link. I can tell you when: around Easter this year, when you were debating whether to share your bean soup recipe. I said “yes, please.” And you did. I love your style, you make me laugh out loud!
julia says
Hunting for a good recipe…and I found you. Well over a year ago, maybe two. And I haven’t regretted one minute of it!
suzanne says
I don’t remember how I found your blog. It must have been about 5 years ago when I was unemployed and spent all day reading baking blogs instead of looking for a job. Yours is one of the few that I still follow now that I work full time and also have a 1 year old.
Christine says
Some decadent recipe from a year or 2 ago brought me to this blog.. Ive read every post since!
tiffany says
You used to be on the knot and that is how I found your blog.

The first post I ever read on here was for your Snickerdoodle Muffins, which I found while googling for… I don’t know what. Then I found the Sweetie Pie cookie pie post, and the peanut butter cup torte, and you had me. I’ve followed since. =)
Helen says
I think it was through a link from another food blog — it was so long ago that I don’t remember clearly. But I’m glad I found this blog!
Bebe says
You telling me about your blog..I’ve been pretty much reading since the beginning!
Christine says
I was googling pictures of cocker spaniels and found CCS! clicked the link and said, COOOOL a great blog to with CCS!

I found your blog through Vanilla Sugar Blog two or so years ago. I loved the decadent recipes and I have been hooked ever since!
Joann says
It was recommended by Google Reader. Thanks, GR! 🙂
Darlene says
I know, I’m late. I just wanted to say that I made these cookies yesterday. I was VERY skeptical when I was mixing them because there seemed to be too much butter AND oil. They are fantastic! They are like the macadamia/white chocolate cookies at Subway. Come to think of it, maybe next time I make them I will substitute the nuts and white chocolate for the m&ms. Thanks.
Breanne Yingling says
I saw your blog about the cookies on pinterest. The pics with your pup reminded me of my dog’s sad begging face on baking days at my house. I wish to be considered for the mixing bowls as mine have seen better days. Thanks!!
