Nothing is better than the classics! These gluten-free M&M Cookies are proof of that. Simple cookies with crispy edges, soft centers, and loaded with M&M candies throughout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M&M candies are really fun to bake with.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The original is super colorful. Transforming any plain baked good into a fun, color-filled treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, you’ve got all the different seasonal colors. You could make the exact SAME recipe, every year for every Holiday, and have it look different every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, if it’s a family favorite recipe then you’ve hit the jackpot. A seasonally decorated, family favorite, that’s easy to make too<\/strong>?! It doesn’t get much better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These gluten-free M&M Cookies are just that.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re my favorite gluten-free Chocolate Chip Cookies<\/a>, with a M&M twist. This time, I made them Christmas<\/a> themed with red and green throughout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when you’re losing your mind during the Holidays because there’s so much to do and not enough time (surely I can’t be the only one?!), these are the cookies to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They aren’t anything new or fancy, that’ll have people talking. Instead, M&M Cookies are classic and nostalgic<\/strong>. You feel at home eating one of these cookies. And that feeling goes beautifully with any<\/em> celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bowl<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

TIP:<\/strong> Prior to baking your cookie dough balls, gently press a few more M&M candies into the tops (if you want them to look as pictured, so not all the M&M’s are hidden in the dough).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s a few different ways to decorate these cookies.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First, you can go with the classic: all M&M candies (whatever color you’d like). This one never fails. These are the M&M Cookies that are pictured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BUT, if you want to get a little extra fancy<\/strong> you can add a few more ingredients (that are still easy to use) to make these M&M cookies really shine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, you can do a combination of M&M candies and chocolate chips.<\/strong> Think, 1\/2 cup of M&M’s and 1\/2 cup of chocolate chips. You could add any kind of chocolate chips (white, milk, dark, butterscotch, peanut butter, etc). The chocolate chips will bring some more melty pools of chocolate into the cookies, that will compliment the crunch of the M&M candies well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could also add some sprinkles to your batter. <\/strong>Just 1\/4 cup of jimmy sprinkles will add an extra festive and fun appearance. Jimmy sprinkles are best, because the colors don’t bleed into your dough as easily. And, they come in several different color combinations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, you can drizzle extra chocolate on top<\/strong> of your M&M Cookies (and even add sprinkles as well). If you’ve got a little extra time and like decorating, this is for you! This makes these classic cookies about as pretty as they can get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Close<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These gluten-free M&M Cookies are a classic, nostalgic, simple recipe that my family loves during the Holidays. Dress them up however you’d like, or don’t. These are a great cookie recipe to have in your back pocket when the Holidays get crazy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After you make them, let me know what you think.<\/strong> Does your family loves M&M candies as much as mine does?! There’s just something about them. Leave a comment and rating, below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
