Mint M&M Snickerdoodle Cookies

Sharing is caring!

Soft and chewy snickerdoodle cookies filled with tons of mint flavor and mint flavored M&Ms. They are also rolled in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar, giving them a classic snickerdoodle flavor. These easy cookies make the perfect easy St. Patrick’s day themed dessert.

The cookie dough is started similar to a classic sugar cookie dough, except that instead of vanilla extract, mint extract is used instead. Mint flavored M&Ms are also folded into the cookie dough. Roll the cookie dough into balls, then roll each one into a mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Place the cookies onto a large ungreased baking sheet at least 2-inches apart. Bake until the cookies are fully cooked through.
