The Perfect Springtime Chocolate Chip Cookies!

It rained all weekend so we were looking for something fun to do together as a family to pass the time. We decided to play a game of Monopoly. It was the best game of Monopoly we’ve played yet!

I was on a roll, I thought for sure I was going to defeat my undefeated husband. Things were really looking up for me as he kept handing over all his money. About half way through the game, things took a turn in his favor and he ended up dominating the game and winning! As usual. I don’t know how he does it, he won’t share his secret. But he wins every single time!

Speaking of winning, these Easter M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies are a sure win every time! I loooove these cookies! Right out of the oven they are ooey-gooey, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. If you love cookies as much as I do then make sure you make a batch of these Brownie Mix Cookies, The Best Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Copycat Levain Bakery Chocolate Chip Cookies!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Can I Use Regular M&M’s Instead of Easter M&M’s?

Yes! Regular M&M’s work just fine. The Easter version simply adds those fun pastel colors, but the flavor stays the same.

How Do I Know When the Cookies are Done?

The edges should look set and lightly golden, while the centers may still look soft. They’ll firm up as they cool.

How Should I Store Cookies?

Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. Add a slice of bread to the container to help keep them soft.

Can I Freeze Cookies?

Yes! You can freeze the baked cookies or the dough balls in a freezer safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Dough can be baked straight from the freezer – just add 1-2 minutes to the bake time.
