Double Chocolate Coconut M&M Cookies by Foodtastic Mom

At Christmas I made THESE cookies with White Chocolate Peppermint M&M’s. The original recipe was thanks to Bakerella. They were so deep, dark and chocolatey. And they are meant to be a bit under-baked, to help even more with the intensity and fabulousness of the chocolate. I loved them so much in fact that why save them just for Christmas?

Now I will admit, most times of the year I can walk into a store (usually Target) and find these Coconut M&M’s. This close to Easter, however? M&M still makes Coconut M&M’s, but they are packaged and recolored for Easter. Which is fine, except I really wanted the standard green, brown and white colors because they are perfect for St. Patrick’s Day. So, for purposes of blogging, I ordered a batch from Amazon, plus I picked through and only used the green ones. I know, the lengths I go to for you people (kidding). 

My purpose in disclosing this is so you are not frustrated if you can’t find anything but Easter-colored Coconut M&M’s at your stores. No biggie. Make these cookies for Easter! Regardless, they are the perfect combo of intense chocolate and coconut flavors, which is never, ever a bad thing. Enjoy!
