This recipe makes at least two dozen cookies large sized cookies. I doubled it thinking I needed more than the 16 the recipes quotes because I’m bringing them to an event. Definitely didn’t need to double it! Otherwise great recipe!

These were divine! I did add about 2 TBSP of flour because I thought the dough was too greasy.

Made these last night and they are so good. My batter was stuffed though, so I question my measurements for the flour. I will try again. Thank you for sharing.

These are so good! I used a regular cookie scooper to make more, but used mini M&Ms…. made 46 cookies total! Big hit my house!!!

I made a double batch of these—fantastic (doubles well)!! The students and staff LOVED them!!! One staff member even asked for the recipe (and I provided her with the link to Sugar Spun Run!)! The only thing I changed was I subbed out half a cup (really one cup since I doubled the recipe) of m&ms for semi-sweet chocolate chips. Would definitely make again—thank you as always for your generosity in sharing your recipes!!

Hi Sam, the recipe looks great! I wanted to know:

Can the recipe be doubled (I’m baking for 24 students)?

Can I substitute half a cup of m&ms for chocolate chips?

Thank you!

Hi Jan! The weight listed is correct and is the weight that I use myself when testing the recipe. Most often spreading is caused by the butter being too warm when the sugar is added. I hope that helps, and hope you were still able to enjoy the cookies!

These are delicious but spread too much. I measured carefully to the gram but they seem to need more flour. The recipe says 340 grams of flour but Google tells me 2 3/4 cups of flour weighs 398.75 grams. I will do further research. I have been known to make the occasional error.

Hi Abby! Melted butter is important but make sure it is not at all warm when you add your sugar, otherwise it could leave you with greasy cookie dough and cookies that spread too much. Make sure you let it sit long enough that when you touch it, it feels room temperature or just slightly above, but nothing more than that. I hope that helps!

Hi! So I ABSOLUTELY LOVED these cookies. I just am curious of why my cookies always seem to spread when I use melted butter, but when I use butter without melting it they don’t spread at all. I have discovered this happens when putting too much flour, however the cookie is never crumbly, just never spreads, and I am also positive I put the correct and exact amount of flour the recipe calls for. So as I’ve said, I think this relates to the butter, but of course, you’re the expert! I hope I made sense and you understand my issue… now, it really isn’t an issue but I like my cookies to be just a bit thick but when I use melted butter they seem to thin and greasy. But I blow up when they barely spread AT ALL in the oven (sorry, thats just me, heh). Thank you so much!

These were perfect!! I used vegan butter since my husband doesn’t eat dairy, and they turned out great. Thanks!

This is the perfect go to M&M cookie recipe I’ve been looking for! The second time I made it I did weigh out the M&Ms because when I measured out a cup and a half it was the entire bag of M&Ms and the first time I made it it felt like way too many in the cookies. But when I use the kitchen scale, it only measured out to 3/4 of a cup for 113 g. Not sure if anybody else experience this, but the recipe is still the best regardless.

I just made another version of these and they spread out so much and are hard. Wish I had searched for yours before making the others. Next time for sure.

Sounds like a delicious addition, Jen! We can never have enough chocolate ☺️

Wow! These came out perfectly and are absolutely delicious. I love they are so soft. They went really quick in my household. They only thing I did a little different was add 1/2 c. of chocolate chips as well as the M&m’s. Also, I only put one tablespoon of dough and it made about 36 cookies.

Hey Sam!
First of all, I love your recipes I recently made the honey cookies and they were a hit even with my mom who hates sweets! Now I was wondering about your m&m cookies can I use mini M&M´s instead of the normal-sized ones? Thanks:)

These are by far the most delicious cookies I have ever had. If anyone needs a good cookie recipe this is the one!
I have made them many times now for family and other events, and gotten compliments every time. My brother begs me to make them almost every time we go camping. I have substituted the M&M’s for chocolate chips a couple of times, and they were still very delicious!
I love all of your recipes and will definitely recommend you to family and friends.
