Frequently Asked Questions About M&M Cookie Dough
Is M&M cookie dough safe to eat raw?
No, ordinary M&M cookie dough is not safe to eat raw because uncooked flour and eggs can carry harmful germs. Only dough specifically made for raw eating, using treated flour and no raw eggs, is intended to be eaten unbaked.
How do you make M&M cookie dough?
To make M&M cookie dough, cream butter and sugar, mix in the egg, then add the dry ingredients. Fold in the M&Ms last so their candy shells stay intact and the dough does not become overworked.
How do you bake M&M cookie dough?
Scoop M&M cookie dough onto a baking tray with space between portions and use the temperature in your recipe. Remove the cookies when the edges are set and the centers still look slightly soft; they firm up as they cool.
Can you freeze M&M cookie dough?
Yes, M&M cookie dough freezes well. Portion it into individual scoops, seal them in a freezer-safe container, and freeze; baking only the amount you need is easier than thawing and refreezing a whole batch.
How long does M&M cookie dough keep in the fridge?
Keep M&M cookie dough sealed in the refrigerator and use it promptly, especially if it contains raw egg. Do not leave it at room temperature for an extended period; freeze the portions if you need to store them longer.
Can you bake M&M cookie dough straight from frozen?
Yes, you can bake frozen M&M cookie dough without thawing it first. Arrange the portions with extra space and expect them to need longer in the oven than chilled dough; check that the edges are set before taking them out.
Why does M&M cookie dough spread too much in the oven?
M&M cookie dough often spreads excessively when the butter is too warm, the dough has not been chilled, or the flour was under-measured. Chill the portions before baking and measure the ingredients carefully rather than adding extra flour by guesswork.
Why do M&Ms lose their color in cookie dough?
The candy coating on M&Ms can transfer color when it gets wet or is rubbed during mixing. Fold the M&Ms in gently at the end, and avoid leaving the mixed dough sitting for a long time before baking.
Can you make edible M&M cookie dough without eggs?
Yes, you can make edible M&M cookie dough without eggs, but raw flour still needs heat treatment before it is safe to eat. Use a recipe designed for edible dough and add the M&Ms after the mixture has cooled.
What can you use instead of M&Ms in M&M cookie dough?
Chocolate chips or chopped chocolate can replace M&Ms in M&M cookie dough, though they will not provide the same crisp candy shell. Fold the replacement in at the end, just as you would the M&Ms.

What is M&M Cookie Dough?
M&M Cookie Dough is sweet cookie dough mixed with colourful, candy-coated chocolate pieces. It is commonly portioned and baked into cookies, though some products are made to be eaten as dough; check the package directions before serving it unbaked.
Once baked, the cookies are usually crisp around the edges and soft in the middle, with little chocolate pieces adding crunch and sweetness. They make an easy dessert or snack with coffee, tea or a glass of milk, and are a popular treat to bake at home or share at gatherings. The dough is energy-dense and mostly provides carbohydrate and fat, with relatively little protein. For a less rich serving, bake smaller cookies and pair one with fruit or an unsweetened drink.
