Christmas will be here in less than 1 week! If you still need a last minute treat idea I’ve got you covered! Aren’t these so fun?! I love how the red & green m&m’s are visible but slightly hidden. If you’d rather have more of the m&m’s show just press a few on the outside of it. Or you can dip the cookie dough bites in chocolate!
These cute Christmas Cookie Dough Bites are so quick to make! All you do is cream the butter and sugars together, then add vanilla, milk and a pinch of salt and the flour! Then you add in the m&m’s and mini chocolate chips. Chill and roll into balls and you are done! These are one of the easiest desserts I’ve ever made. Plus eating cookie dough is so fun and sneaky! I never eat it when it has egg in it so I feel so mischievous eating these!
