Preferably, the one that used to be on the M&M bag. ---

Not sure if it’s what you’re looking for, but I use the Nestle Toll house recipe, the one on the chocolate chip bag, and use M&Ms instead of chocolate chips. ---

And use full-size M&Ms, not the little mini ones. ---

[This](http://global.mms.com/us/baking/recipes/recipe_52.jsp) looks pretty close to me. ---

Except that I see now it uses the minis. ---

I guess that explains why the recipe is no longer on the regular M&M bag. ☹ ---

I have in my posession the recipe for absolutely the BEST and easiest M&M cookies you can find. I know it’s not the recipe from the M&M bag, and it sounds really weird how you make them, but believe me, they’re delicious! 1 package yellow cake mix 1/2 cup butter or margerine, melted 1/4 cup flour 1 egg 1 1/2 cups M&Ms •Preheat oven to 350 degrees F •At medium speed, beat together first 4 ingredients untill combined (dough will be stiff and crumbly •Stir in 3/4 cup M&Ms •Shape dough into 1 1/2 tablespoon balls •Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet and flatten slightly •Press remaining M&Ms on top of each cookie •Bake 11-12 minutes From my experience with this recipe, I have found that everythinig works out better if you make the balls of dough quite small, like maybe the size of a ping-pong ball, and be sure to flatten them! ---

The above recipes look good! Here’s one I found thru a search: [http://www.cooksrecipes.com/cookie/m-m-cookies.html](http://www.cooksrecipes.com/cookie/m-m-cookies.html) It mixes the candy in. ---

Don’t don’t don’t use the mini ones, whether recipe calling for it or not. They have almost no flavor when they’re baked because there’s such minute amounts of chocolate in them. ---
