Notes
Expert Tip: Don't skip the step of letting your cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This brief cooling period helps the cookies set and maintain their shape, guaranteeing a perfect batch every time.
Refrigerate: After enjoying the best M&M cookies, store the leftovers in a container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Make sure the cookies are completely cooled before storing to maintain their chewy texture.
Freeze: If you have a batch of these delicious M&M cookies left, you can freeze them. Make sure the cookies are cooled, then place them in an airtight sealed container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Thaw: When you're ready to enjoy your frozen cookies, let them thaw at room temperature before serving. This will help maintain their chewy texture and delicious flavor.
Reheating Instructions: If you prefer your cookies warm, you can reheat them in the oven. Preheat the oven to a low temperature, place the cookies on a baking sheet, and warm them for a few minutes. Be sure to watch them closely to prevent over-baking.
