How to Make Chewy Mint M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies
I have never met a chocolate chip cookie I didn't like so to try to kick things up a bit, I decided to add Mint M&Ms to our cookie mix to create a different take on a normal chocolate chip cookie.
These chewy chocolate chip cookies are easy to make, taste great, and are a great way to satisfy your mint craving any time of the year!
What Ingredients Do I Need to Make These Cookies?
- Chocolate chip cookie mix
- Mint Chocolate M&Ms
Can I Use Mint Chips in Lieu of the Mint M & Ms?
Yes, you can definitely do that. You will still get that lovely refreshing bite of mint and chocolate!
Normally M&Ms Melt into the Cookie and You Lose the Color, How Did you Make the Candies So Bright?
After we pulled the Mint Choc Chip Cookies from the oven, we add more of the M&Ms on top of the cookies and then let the cookies cool.
Could I use Andes Mints Chopped up Instead?
Yep, that would still create a lovely chocolate and mint combination!
Could I Make Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches with These?
That would be simply amazing wouldn't it? Yes, all you have to do is soften up a pint of vanilla ice cream, scoop it out and smooth it on the bottom of one of the cookies, add another cookie to the top of the ice cream.
You will then want to quickly wrap each of the cookie sandwiches in plastic wrap. Freeze 2 to 3 hours or until firm. Once they are firm, you can place them in a large freezer proof airtight container. You could also store them individually wrapped in plastic bags.
