Easter M&M Cookies

M&M cookies are color and just plain fun. M&M cookies made with pastel M&Ms in the shape of bunnies are even more fun! These cookies are so easy to make and are perfect for Easter. My youngest made to sure ask me to put one in his school lunch every day this week. How could I say no? A cute little treat to brighten any lunchbox.

M&M Bunny Cookies Are:

1: Easy to make! You don’t need any fancy tools or supplies. Just a knife to cut the M&Ms in half for the ears.

2: Perfect for Easter parties. Make 18 or double the batch to make 3 dozen.

3: A no-chill recipe. The dough is soft and delicious and be baked right away.

4: Easy to customize! We used white chocolate chips and pastel M&Ms, but you can use any add-ins that you’d like. Just make sure to use M&Ms on top for the bunnies!

If these M&M bunnies look familiar it could be because I used them on our Easter peanut butter cookie cups too!They make any treat Easter themed. Add them to cupcakes, sugar cookies, cookie bars or anything!

This recipe makes 18 Easter cookies, but can easily be doubled to make 3 dozen.

I used a mixture of pastel M&Ms and white chocolate chips. Once the cookies come out of the oven you can add bunny ears to any of the M&Ms that are sticking out of the dough and add a few more M&M candies on top for even more bunnies!

Almost too cute to eat—almost.

(scroll down for the printable version)

• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup white sugar

How To Make Easter M&M Cookies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Melt butter and let cool for 5 minutes.

Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. Set aside.

Mix melted butter and sugars together in a separate bowl. Stir in the egg and vanilla.

Combine wet and dry ingredients and stir. Mix in white chocolate chips and pastel M&Ms.

Scoop using a medium cookie scoop onto ungreased or parchment paper-lined baking sheets.

Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes. While cookies bake, cut a handful of M&Ms in half using a sharp knife. These will be bunny ears.

Once the cookies come out of the oven press bunny ears into the cookie right next to any M&Ms that are sticking out of the cookie. If you don’t see a lot of visible M&Ms go ahead and press some into the hot cookies then add the M&M halves for ears.

Let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.

Store cookies in an airtight container for 3-5 days. Cookies can also be frozen.
