Oreo M&M’s Cookies are a chewy, colorful treat that combines the best parts of classic cookies and two favorite candies. I love how these cookies pack in crushed Oreo cookies and crunchy M&M’s for an irresistible combination of chocolatey richness and pops of color and texture. They’re soft in the middle, crisp on the edges, and absolutely perfect for parties, holidays, or anytime I want something a little over the top.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
These cookies are my go-to when I want something fun and full of surprises in every bite. I love how the Oreos add a creamy crunch, while the M&M’s bring in both texture and a bit of whimsy. The dough is buttery, soft, and holds its shape perfectly when baked. Best of all, it’s an easy recipe that delivers bakery-style results right at home.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
-
All-purpose flour
-
Baking soda
-
Salt
-
Unsalted butter, softened
-
Brown sugar
-
Granulated sugar
-
Eggs
-
Vanilla extract
-
Crushed Oreo cookies
-
M&M’s (regular or mini, depending on preference)
Directions
-
I start by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining my baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
In a bowl, I whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
-
In another bowl, I cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
-
I beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Gradually, I mix in the dry ingredients until the dough comes together.
-
I fold in the crushed Oreos and M&M’s, making sure they’re evenly distributed.
-
Using a cookie scoop, I portion the dough onto the baking sheets, spacing them a couple of inches apart.
-
I bake the cookies for 9–11 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers still look a little soft.
-
I let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Servings and timing
This recipe makes about 24–30 cookies, depending on the size of each scoop. It takes around 10 minutes to prepare the dough and another 10 minutes to bake, so I usually have fresh cookies ready in about 20–25 minutes.
Variations
Sometimes I switch things up by using peanut butter M&M’s or adding white chocolate chips for extra sweetness. If I want to get festive, I use seasonal M&M’s to match the holiday. I’ve also tried using golden Oreos for a lighter twist, and they’re just as delicious.
storage/reheating
I store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. If I want to enjoy them warm, I just pop one in the microwave for about 10 seconds—it brings back that fresh-baked softness. For longer storage, I freeze the cookie dough balls and bake them straight from the freezer, adding 1–2 minutes to the baking time.
FAQs
Can I use double-stuffed Oreos?
Yes, I’ve used double-stuffed Oreos and the cookies turn out even more indulgent. The extra filling adds a richer texture to each bite.
Do I need to chill the dough?
I usually don’t chill the dough, but if I want thicker cookies with less spread, I’ll chill it for 30 minutes. It really depends on how thick I want them.
Can I freeze the dough?
Definitely. I like to roll the dough into balls and freeze them on a tray before transferring to a freezer bag. They bake beautifully straight from frozen.
How do I crush the Oreos?
I usually break them up by hand or place them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin. I like having both large chunks and small crumbs for texture.
What kind of M&M’s should I use?
I typically use regular M&M’s, but mini ones work great if I want more candy in every bite. I’ve even used peanut butter or caramel-filled M&M’s for a fun twist.
Conclusion
Oreo M&M’s Cookies are the ultimate fun and flavorful treat. I love making these when I want something playful, colorful, and absolutely packed with goodies. Whether I’m baking for a crowd or just craving something sweet, these cookies always bring smiles and satisfy every sweet tooth.
