M & M COOKIES

Soft, chewy, colourful M&M Cookies are perfect treats to all. These cookies are insanely GOOD !!!

What makes these cookies SO GOOD, SO CHEWY, SO SOFT ?

These cookies have the basic ingredients like flour, butter , sugar and egg but what makes them so gooey is the brown sugar and a little of cornflour. This makes a whole lot of difference in the texture of the cookies.

Next, chilling of the dough is mandatory to get thick and chewy cookies. If you do not chill the dough you land up having puddle of cookies. Most of the recipes recommend to chill the dough for 2 to 3 hours but I prefer to chill it overnight. This gives really thick and chewy cookies.

Once I prepared a large amount of cookie dough. I baked four batches and one last was remaining but I was so tired that I wrapped the last batch of dough in cling film and kept in refrigerator. Next day I took out the dough and scooped it on the baking tray and then right into the preheated oven. This overnight chilled dough cookies were amazingly thick , soft and chewy. Since then whenever I bake the cookies I prepare the dough a day before.

Homemade cookies are the best cookies as you know what ingredients are going in and it is free of preservatives. Enjoy as dessert or in your breakfast with milk, coffee or tea. I always prefer it with my evening tea. Kids love to have it as dessert. My both boys just warm up the cookies in microwave for 10 to 15 seconds and drizzle some chocolate syrup and enjoy these soft , warm cookies while watching their favorite shows.

The best part is that you do not need electric whisk or mixer to make the dough. I just used a metallic spoon to stir up the ingredients for a couple of minutes after each step.

So what are you waiting for?  Let’s satisfy those cookie cravings, try these, you’ll reach for this recipe again and again. HAPPY BAKING !!!
