I have been trying to bake something once a week for my husband staff at the hospital. I wanted to bake something Easter theme this week…but I didn’t want to bake a cake because I wanted something that was easy so they can just grab and go. I didn’t wanted him to have to deal with cutting the cake or having to serve it. I was gonna make cupcakes but I figure M&M chocolate chip cookies would be the best sweet treat to bring. I added a few of these Easter color M&M just to make it festive 😉
Hoping everyone is doing something fun for Easter. We will be dying Easter eggs Thursday and I will be attempting to bake a coconut cake this week also. What are you going to be doing this week??

Scoop the dough into a baking sheet

Add in the chocolate chips and mix for another minute or so. You don't want to over mix.

Using a medium size icecream scoop. Scoop the dough onto a prepared baking sheet (line the baking sheet with parchment paper). Make sure that the dough is about 2inch apart.

Taking your finger and flatten the dough out a little. Next, carefully place a few M&M candies (make sure the letter "M" is not showing) on the cookie dough. I only place around 4-5 candies on each 😉

Allow to cool on a cooling rack.
