Thick and Chewy M&M'S Cookies

If you are looking for a thick, giant, chewy, soft M&M'S cookies, this is your recipe!

The Oscars are coming up tomorrow and I can't wait to watch them. In a perfect world, I would be creating a menu with each dish or course reflecting the nominated movies. However with three kids and a long to do list, this will just have to wait a few years.

These Thick and Chewy M&M'S cookies make Acadamey Award watching so much more enjoyable. Paired with a delicious craft brew or a glass of cab, you're set for an evening of critiquing! So here is my plan- at the beginning of the awards I plan to make a batch of these cookies. That way I can peacefully watch the red carpet commentary while the kids carefully position the M&M'S onto the cookie balls. I would even go as far as to say that this is a great fine motor skill project for my toddler 🙂

M&M’S and movies go together perfectly and are an ideal match for enjoying an award show or movie-watching experience. Peanut M&M'S are my husband's only request for movie nights. That is, until he tried the crunchy M&M'S! After having just been re-released in January, this was the first time my he had ever tried them. He loved the delicious crunchy center almost as much as the peanut center.

This year, M&M’S® is commemorating the biggest night in Hollywood by debuting a commercial on national TV that shows M&M’S characters invading the movies. Also, make sure to check out the ever so famous Red and his very useful Red Carpet Tips! Remember...there is no such thing as too much collagen!  I would love for you to comment below with how you watch the Oscars!
