Christmas M&M Cookie Bites

I have been dying to make something in my new Brownie Mold,

but my last dessert was Brookies so I thought I would change it up a bit and make bite sized cookies! Here's what you'll need:

• 1 bag of your favorite chocolate chip cookie mix, or your favorite recipe (I will share with that you on another post). 
• 1/2 cup milk chocolate m&m's 
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter 
• 1 bag of dark chocolate candy melts or 1 bag of dark chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 375. Spray your silicon mold with baking spray (if you don't have the mold you can use a nonstick brownie pan). Using a stand mixer, add cookie mix, butter, and egg and mix. Don't over mix! 

Fold in about a 1/2 cup (this amount is really up to you) of coarsely chopped m&m's with silicon spatula. 

Next, using a 1 tablespoon size cookie scoop, spoon 1 tablespoon into each mold square. 

Bake for 13 minutes or until light golden brown. Let them cool completely before removing them from the mold. 

They will come out upside down so make sure that you flip them over before decorating. 

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place cookie bites in rows. Put candy melts in the microwave for 1 minute.

I have a very handy decorating bottle that i use to drizzle the chocolate, but you could easily snip the end of a ziploc bag. It does the same job! 

I also added nonpareils in green and red to keep it christmas-y! 

Here is the finished product:

They are just the right size, only a couple of bites. Perfect for a holiday party, or a midnight snack! 

I packaged up mine up in cookie bags I found at the local Michael's and tied it up with ribbon. I gave them out as a holiday treat for basically anyone who I was seeing that day!
