M&M cookies

M&M cookies are a popular, colorful variation of the classic chocolate chip cookie, where the chocolate chips are replaced with candy-coated chocolate pieces (M&M's). They typically feature a sweet, buttery dough made from flour, sugar, butter, and eggs, studded with the vibrant candies. Originating in the United States, they are a beloved treat often associated with homemade baking and casual snacking.
