Halloween M&M Chocolate Cookies are a chocolate cookie filled with Halloween colored peanut butter stuffed M&M’s. The super soft chocolatey cookie is simple to make and tastes amazing. The addition of colorful M&M’s add that festive flare! I used peanut butter filled M&M’s for an added burst of flavor, because chocolate and peanut butter is a match made in heaven! I am all about simple holiday recipes and this is one of my favorites!
Halloween Cookies
Each year, I like to come out with a simple but fun Halloween inspired dessert! Really, I am not one to get overly complicated with designs and decorations.
I am often envious of those cute cake decorators and bakers that create over the top holiday themed recipes, but to be honest, that is just not my style. I prefer keeping this simple, but still cute and creative!
It’s so fun how these Halloween Cookies have a fun pop of Halloween color, without being overly complicated! Plus, the chocolate cookie base is so yummy too!
M&M Cookies
M&M’s are so fun to use in baked goods because not only do they add a chocolatey flavor to your recipe, but they also add a fun pop of color! This mix I found at my local grocery store was colored purple, green, and orange for Halloween!
My mix was actually peanut butter stuffed M&M’s! I love the combo of chocolate and peanut butter! But plain M&M’s would work too!
That’s the great thing about this recipe! You can change the color of M&M’s inside to create any holiday themed cookie! Red, white, and blue for the fourth of July, red & pink for Valentines, red & green for Christmas!
The holiday combinations for these M&M cookies are unless! You have to admit, the Halloween M&M Cookies are pretty cute though!
