  • Stir through the mini M&M's. 180 g mini M&Ms
  • Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon to take around 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie. Roll it into a ball.
  • Space the cookie balls at least 2 inches/5 cm apart on each prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake the cookies for around 10-12 minutes until the edges of the cookie are golden brown, but the middles are still soft.
  • For extra round cookies, when they are just out of the oven, place a large cookie cutter over the hot cookie on the cookie sheet, then swirl it gently around the cookie. It will push it into a perfect cookie shape.
  • Press a few extra M&Ms on top of the hot cookie.
