White Chocolate M&m Cookies

"These are quintessential bake sale cookies. This recipe will give you those beautiful 4-inch cookies you see at the bakery section of your grocery store. They are great for holidays because you can purchase the special holiday colored M&Ms. The recipe only makes 18 cookies, but I have doubled and even tripled it with success. If you decide to make multiple batches at one time then you will need to break out the big Kitchenaid mixer!!"

  1. Beautiful! I took these to a Valentine's cookie exchange party and they complemented the other contributions which were mostly regular chocolate. I didn't need to bake them the full 15 minutes. This dough is hard and a little frustrating to work with in the food processor and also getting the M&Ms to stick in it, but the final result is worth it.
     
  2. I have made this recipe for almost 20 years. I found it in a Betty Crocker Contest Winner Cookbook. It is always a hit. I dip one edge of the cookie in the 1/2 cup of melted vanilla chips and drizzle it with 1/3 cup of melted semi-sweet chocolate chips.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I recently moved to Alaska from Arizona for my husbands job. Right now I am staying home with our 2-year-old daughter. We are all still trying to discover Anchorage and all that Alaska has to offer. I love everything about food. Shopping for food, cooking food, and eating food. My mother is an amazing baker, and I am fortunate that she passed that on to me. My husband is from Zambia, in southern Africa, so we cook a lot of traditional Zambian dishes. I love to cook but rarely do I measure and track cooking times. I am the kind of cook that just throws things together until I get what I am looking for. <a href="http://s224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/?action=view&current=cookieswapparticip.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/cookieswapparticip.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/bugh8er/food%20and%20swaps/59115c92.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y164/lauralie41/swapbanner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/Other/tagforpage1.jpg">
