Chocolate Chip M&M Cookies (Bakery Style) - Chelsea's Messy Apron (2024)

What a wonderful and helpful post, Chelsea! I love all these tricks, and I’ll make sure I try them soon. The cookies look absolutely fabulous! xxx

Definitely trying these Chelsea. I’m not innately good at baking like I am cooking, so I’m always looking for other tried and true baking recipes — especially cookies since that’s my husband’s favorite. Can’t wait to try them!

Just tried this and BEST COOKIE RECIPE EVER. I will never try another! My whole family ate them right up! Thank you for the helpful tips as I’ve often had cookies go flat and spread a lot.

Yum yum yum!!! These look so so good! Although I am trying to eat super healthy right now as a sort of detox after vacation food … and these are not helping!!! 🙂

Hey! I made these this weekend and they are super good! Thanks so much for the recipe- this will go in the binder of recipes to keep and share with friends. Thank you!

Can you describe the texture of this cookie? I was wondering if they’re soft and puffy, or if they get a crisp and chewy texture? Thanks so much!

I must say that your recipes (and, more importantly, PHOTOS) all look simply amazing. I was just wondering if you have nutritional facts posted anywhere? Did I just happen to miss them?

Does it matter whether you use salted or unsalted butter?

These were really good. Loved the flavor and how many chocolate chips in the cookies. Definitely make again!

My favorite cookies ever! These were very good and easy to make.

These really are amazing! I’ve always wanted to make huge cookies! All of my friends and family loved these cookies too. They really are the best! Thank you for sharing!

I plan to make these today with Reese’s Pieces for Thanksgiving. I’ve already made them three times in the last couple of weeks and they’re my new favorite cookie. They taste wonderful and come out looking perfect every time! (It’s fun that they’re so huge too!) Thanks for sharing this great recipe. 🙂

You can definitely use one if you’d like. I actually have never had any of the aforementioned issues by using a really high quality baking sheet. I use Chicago Metallic or Calphalon and love the way my cookies turn out on them!

Should I use salted or unsalted butter?

I baked a double batch of these cookies for our July 4th holiday family fish fry, and they were a big hit! I’ve been searching a long time for the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe, and I finally found it – thanks to you! Chewy and full of chocolatey flavor, they were both beautiful, wonderfully aromatic, and super tasty. Your “secret” ingredients were definitely the key!

I was wondering what kind of scoop you use for these?

Hello! I’m excited to try this recipe out – I’ve purchased the ingredients and will be making this tomorrow.
I just have one question: do these cookies spread out, and if so, by how much? I’m not sure how big to make them on the baking tray – I’ll be using a 1/4 cup scoop, but I’ll be shaping them into circles with my hands. Approximately how large should each cookie be when placed on the baking tray?

Awesome! Followed all your directions as posted and they are delish!
Swapped m&ms for chopped pecans
Funny how I thought I was taking them out to early but they set up so nice on the pans after letting them sit for 5 minutes before removing to cooling rack.

I just made these and they turned out great! They do take a little bit longer to make vs. regular CC cookies but it is worth it! Next time i will make a double batch so they last a little longer! Love the recipe! Thanks so much for sharing.

About how big do these cookies get? (Diameter in Inches). Need to make ‘big bakery style cookies’ and I’ve had so much waste with all the other recipes I’ve tried (didn’t spread enough). Also, can I refrigerate the dough overnight and bake the next day?

Dear chef, i already tried ur cookies n we all loves it. So i intend to make as a doorgift for my brother during his wedding. Can u help me how to calculate if i want to make 3x of the recipies.yr answer i appreciate.tq

Yummy, yummy, yummy! Recipe definitely a keeper! Thanks for sharing.

All my cookies (oatmeal, peanut butter, gingersnaps) turn out great except for my choc chip. They usually spread too much and taste egg-y. These turned out wonderful. I agree with a previous comment that they are a little more work but they are worth it – mine turned out thick and chewy! Pinning now!

You mentioned using a scale would produce better results do you know how many grams of flour to use?

These cookies are wonderful! I’ve given them as gifts (we included one with each of our Valentines this year) and everyone loves them! A neighbor’s husband just asked for the recipe today (he snuck a taste of his kid’s Valentine…) 🙂

I’m not much of a baker. My dough turned out crumbly. Did I do something wrong? Thanks!

Just made these……so so good!

Did you flatten your cookies some? They look like it in the picture that shows what they should look like pre-oven.

About how many of the cookies fit on a cookie sheet?

Can these be frozen? They look divine!

These look fantastic – but wonder can I make them smaller than 1/4 cup? If so, how long would you bake for? Thank you so much for sharing!

I’ve been looking for the perfect bakery style cookie and finally came across your fabulous recipe. They came out perfectly. Thank you so, so much!

Amazing cookies… Looks divine too definitely will try. One doubt if I want to reduce the egg to one so I hve to reduce the quantity in each ingredient rite. So,, 3/4″half I hve to put”how can half.

Hi! These look great! Can’t Wait to try them out! How do you achieve the pre-oven look? It seems almost swirly, not like a flattened ball… thanks!

Love these cookies! Quick question (although I realize this is an olderish post!)….does it matter if it’s dark brown sugar or light brown sugar? I’ve made them before and they were perfect, however, I made them this weekend and they are crunchy. I can’t remember which I used and am wondering if you have a preference. Thanks!

Can i refrigerate the dough over night and bake it the next day?

Can you make these into peanut butter cookies by just omitting the chocolate chips? I am going to make these tonight and we are going to have them on Mother’s Day!!

Wow just made these wish I could show a photo of them. Very good recjpe !!

I’ve been making these for several years now, and everyone always loves them! Thanks for the recipe!

The best cookies in the world!

I have been using this recipe for years and I love it.

I made these cookies for the first time tonight, and they are the yummiest “homemade” cookies I’ve ever made or eaten! They are also full, fluffy, and as pretty as your pictures. Thank you for sharing this recipe!!!

These are seriously the best cookies.

Every time I make these – they are devoured! A crowd pleaser for sure!
