Easy Halloween Cookie Recipe
These Halloween M&M’s cookies are perfect for Halloween parties and will put everyone in festive spirits. The nutty, rich flavor of the browned butter is divine. Because you’re starting with melted rather than creamed butter, these Halloween cookies are wonderfully chewy while cornstarch keeps them soft for days. They’re loaded with orange and brown M&M’s and chocolate chips. The crispy shells of the M&Ms are a wonderful contrast to the soft, chewy dough and melted chocolate chips. Definitely bookmark this Halloween cookie recipe for later since it’s easy to change it up for any holiday! For Thanksgiving, you can also use orange and brown M&M’s, red and green M&M’s will work for Christmas, and so on.
