There are always some serious sugar cravings going on at my house.
It doesn't help that there is usually some sort
of baked good sitting on the cupboard or in the fridge
tempting us to dive right in.
Hello, White Chocolate Cherry M&M Cookies staring me down.
I have been trying really hard to watch what I am eating...
usually just by watching it go into my mouth:-)
It doesn't help when they come out with delicious Cherry M&M's.
After 3 bags, I had to cut myself off...
NO MORE CHERRY M&M'S for this girl!!!
Good thing for kid's lunches and for friends that help
eat all the goodies that I feel the need to bake.
I would hate to give up baking
and bonding with my Kitchen Aid
just because I am trying to eat less sugary goodness.
Now where did I hide the last few M&M's???

White chocolate and cherry give these chocolate chip cookies a fun new flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 3 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons cherry juice (from a jar)
- 2 ½ cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup Cherry M&M’s
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Place 4 Tablespoons butter and chopped white chocolate in a sauce pan over low heat. Stir until melted and creamy. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Cream the rest of the butter and sugar. Beat in the cooled white chocolate mixture.
- Add the eggs and cherry juice and beat again.
- Stir together the dry ingredients and slowly add to the butter mixture.
- Stir in the chips by hand. Chill the dough for 30-60 minutes. (this helps the dough from spreading too much)
- Drop by small spoonfuls onto a baking sheet. Press 5-6 Cherry M&M’s into the top of each cookie dough spoonful. Bake for 8-9 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Store in a sealed container.
Notes
*If you can't find the Cherry M&M's, substitute regular or Raspberry ones.

The recipe says to add the sugars. Is there only 1/2 cup of brown sugar for the recipe and no other sugar?
Jocelyn Brubaker
Yes, it is just the brown sugar. The extra s is just a typo. I will make sure to get that fixed. Thank you!!!

Since I am a cookie monster - you got my attention just looking at the first photo. These sound fabulous. Saw these featured at Grandma Loy's Kitchen. MMMM!

Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust
I know, huh? I am always watching my treats go in my mouth (and onto my food-baby belly).
Loy
Oh my! Just read my email about these. I love chocolate-covered cherries, the cherry cordial kisses, and now there are cherry M&M's. I didn't know about them. Wow, must go find some and make those cookies. Thanks for sharing.

Those sound amazing! I can't believe that cherry m&m's exist and that no one has thought to deliver them here to me in England! How very mean of mr's M and M.

They look fabulous. I love how you said you were watching what you were eating by watching it go into your mouth - lol. I can totally relate!
Sue @ Cakeballs, cookies and more
I am so lucky we don't have that flavour here, or it could be bad for me. They do sound good though, so I really kind of want to try them.
Hattie
WHAT?! Cherry M&Ms!!! I might just have to go find me a bag.
Hayley
I agree with Aimee, far too addictive! And I'm not the biggest cherry fan, either. These look so outrageously buttery and wonderful.
Brandi
Wow! These look delicious! I looooooove chocolate covered cherries, so I bet I would love these!
Cookin' Cowgirl
Yum, I'll have to give those a try, I've never had those M&Ms! Cute!
Aimee
I can't buy any more bags of those m&m's, they are way too addicting. And I have no self control!! Cookies look awesome, I'll take deliveries too 🙂
