I blame my friend and her gorgeous newborn baby girl for these! I was invited over for morning tea to meet the baby and I just had to bring something. Due to certain food allergies my friend has, I opted to feature chocolate in these cookies instead of raisins and almonds. The results were unsurprisingly delicious… and dangerously more-ish. I made another batch of dough in preparation for my Thanksgiving for Dummies event and froze it so I could “bake fresh” the night before (ie, tonight!), without any stress.
Chewy cookies packed with marshmallowy, M&M’s mmm-ness
CHEWY M&M’s COOKIES WITH MINI MARSHMALLOWS
Prep Time: 15 Min, Cook Time: 11 Min, Makes: approx. 36
INGREDIENTS:
5 dl organic all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
250 g unsalted butter, softened
2.5 dl caster sugar
2.5 dl dark brown sugar, firmly packed
2 large organic, free range eggs
2 tsp organic pure vanilla powder
7 dl organic oats (not instant)
180 g M&M’s
A couple of handfuls of mini marshmallows
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and vanilla; set aside.
- Combine butter, eggs and sugar with a mixer on low-speed.
- Increase speed to high to cream until fluffy and light in colour.
- Stir* the flour mixture into the creamed mixture until no flour is visible.
*Over mixing develops the gluten and will make the cookies tough - Add the oats, M&M’s and mini marshmallows and stir to incorporate.
- Scoop out approx. 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie. Place a few centimeters apart on a non-stick baking sheet covered tray.
- Bake 11-13 minutes (on center rack), until golden, but still moist beneath cracks on top.
- Remove from oven. Let cookies sit on baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.

*Cookies keep well in an airtight container for at least a few days
*Cookie dough may be frozen for later use
Sounds delicious, going to try them-thank you!
Oh lovely! Please do let me know how they work out for you 🙂
yumm!! what an awesome combination – and can almost taste the marshmellows and m&m’s!! 🙂
Cookies and candy… you can’t go wrong! (unless you’re dieting 😉 )
Mmm! Those look beautiful… if you’d bring those you could stop by anytime you want!!
Aw, thank you 🙂
We have just launched (launched) a recruitment program at the University where I work called Mobility@Monash – and it has been fondly tagged M&M by all who were involved – I think I will have to bake a batch of these and take them into my colleagues!
Oh, you should do it! That would be very sweet 🙂 Good luck with the launch!
Fabulous 🙂 …my daughter has a nut allergy so these would be awesome to make with her 🙂 Going to give them a go on our next baking session!!
Oh yay! I am sure these would be a BIG hit with kids 😀
Yummy!! They sound scrumptious 😉
Thank you! 🙂
You are decadent! Oops, I meant to throw in raisins, but somehow, some way, they turned into M&Ms on the way to the oven….
That’s exactly what happened! We’re very disappointed to be stuck with M&M’s 😉
I am sure you recovered well from the disappointment 🙂
Beyond yummy!! I love that these are organic : )
Thank you! Well, I kind of figured I had to compensate for the candy inclusions 😉 Actually, we only tend to buy organic where possible so all our flour, sugar, eggs, butter, etc are always organic. Eco produce is really easy to come by here… in regular supermarkets and at reasonable prices 🙂
Think i might give these a pop with my son, thanks for popping by and liking my post! hope to see you back again soon,
Al
Oh, you’re welcome! And I do hope you and your son like them if you try them, 🙂
