If childhood had only one candy, I think it would have to be M&Ms. They are brightly colored and full of chocolate, and who doesn’t remember holding them in your hand as the colors melted slightly? Even to this day, M&Ms just make me smile. Do you know what makes these fun candies even better? Adding them to cookies and making M&M Cookie Sandwiches. Read more to get the easy recipe, then be sure to try our Reese’s Cookie Sandwiches.

M&M SANDWICH COOKIES

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE M&M SANDWICH COOKIES:

All Purpose Flour
Brown Sugar
Butter
Sugar
Egg
Chocolate Chips
M & M’s
Baking Soda
Frosting

Let’s make some of these yummy cookie sandwiches, shall we? First things, first: preheat your oven to 350°.

In a large mixing bowl combine ¼ cup of brown sugar, ½ cup of sugar and 1 stick (½ cup) of room temperature butter.

Crack 1 egg, add vanilla and sprinkle in ½ teaspoon of baking soda.

Slowly add 1 ½ cups of all purpose flour and then stir in ¼ cup of chocolate chips and ¼ cup of M&M’s.

This is my kids’ favorite part, though it may be because they like to sample the candy!

Make the cookie dough into tablespoon sized balls and place on a nonstick pan or a parchment paper lined pan. Use a spoon to slightly flatten.

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, then remove them from the oven. Place the cookies on a cooling rack.

Once the cookies have cooled, spread frosting (I think chocolate would just put this over the top!) on the inside of every other cookie.

Place a cookie on top to make a cookie sandwich. Use the remaining ¼ cup of M&Ms to place around the edges. They just make these cookies look so festive!

These cookies look super fun and are absolutely delicious! They are sure to be a hit with the whole family!

Feeling adventurous? Try replacing the frosting with vanilla ice cream to make ice cream cookie sandwiches. Yes, please!

DO YOUR KIDS LOVE COOKING?

I have long been a proponent of cooking with kids. There are so many things kids learn helping out in the kitchen. Math, reading, chemistry, cooperation and more are used while following a recipe.
