These soft chewy M&M bunny cookies are a cozy, festive treat perfect for Easter or any time you want a fun, colorful snack. They feature a buttery dough with melty M&Ms and a perfect chewy texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (about 312 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (227 grams)
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups M&Ms (about 260 grams)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer or wooden spoon until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Gently fold in the M&Ms, saving a few to press on top of each cookie.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Press a few reserved M&Ms on top.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, until edges are set but centers still look soft. They will firm up as they cool.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies soft and chewy. Use room temperature ingredients for best texture. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to avoid crumbling. Dough can be refrigerated up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage. Use parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking.
