These Chocolate Christmas Cookies are are great for sharing and so festive and delicious!
Ingredients
red and green M&Ms – any flavors work, but we usually do Plain Christmas M&Ms softened butter granulated sugar eggs vanilla extract all-purpose flour unsweetened cocoa powder baking soda salt
How to Make
Note: I would not recommend topping the cookies with M&Ms after they are cooked. They tend not to stay on the cookie.
Storing info
STORE. Baked cookies need to cool completely on a wire rack, then store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days. Adding a piece of white bread to the container will help keep the cookies soft. Topping variations. Replace the M&M candy topping with:
holiday colored frosting or holiday colored drizzle crushed almonds or peanuts chocolate chips or dark chocolate chunks crushed candy canes or mint pieces
FREEZE baked cookies. Place 1-2 cookies in fold top sandwich bags, place them together in a freezer Ziploc. You can also wrap them individually with plastic wrap, a fold top sandwich bag, or layer using parchment paper in between. They can keep in the freezer for 2 months.
