M&M Christmas Cookies are a delicious, chewy vanilla cookie covered in Holiday M&M’s. These easy Christmas cookies are not only festive looking but taste great too .
The balls of dough are literally rolled in those M&M’s. This is the perfect job for tiny hands! Although, I will warn, you may want a few extra M&M’s. Those tiny things seem to disappear when kids are in charge of this step.
