Flower Bites Ingredients
M&Ms: You will need 1 ½ cups of pastel-colored M&Ms for the flowers on these cookie bites. I recommend buying the sharing-sized bag or party-sized bag so that there is more than enough M&Ms for all of your flower needs. This also allows you extra M&Ms to “sample” throughout the process.
White Chocolate Chips: You will want 1 cup of white chocolate chips to melt down and adhere the M&Ms on top of the cookies. You can also swap out the chocolate for white vanilla frosting instead, this is great for a no-bake recipe version.
Mini Cookies: You will need 45 mini chocolate chip cookies. You can find mini chocolate cookies in the bulk section of your grocery store, Chips Ahoy or store-brand versions of these cookies are ideal.
How to Make M&M Spring Flower Cookie Bites
Prep
Get started by preheating the oven to 375-degree F. Then line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Next, place the mini-cookies upside down onto the prepared baking sheet.
Melt chocolate
After that, add ¼ teaspoon of white chocolate chips on top of each cookie. You only need enough chocolate to cover the cookie.
Then place the baking sheet with the cookies into the oven for 3 minutes or until the chocolate has melted.
Decorate
Once the chocolate has melted, remove the cookies from the oven and place 7 M&Ms onto the white chocolate in the shape of a flower. To do this, start by adding the first one in the center and then arranging the others into the shape of a circle around the middle one.
Be sure to let the cookies cool, at room temperature or in the fridge, to set.
Serve cookies on a festive party tray or on a simple plate and enjoy!
Tips & Tricks for Easy Spring Flower Cookies
M&M Selection: You can find pastel-colored M&Ms in most grocery stores during the spring season. However, it’s essential to note that not all bags of M&Ms contain the same colors. Some bags may have more pink or purple M&Ms, while others may have more yellow or green. Therefore, it’s advisable to buy a sharing-sized or party-sized bag to ensure that you have enough M&Ms with a good variety of colors.
Sizing Options: When it comes to M&Ms, size matters. For the M&M Spring Flower Cookie Bites, you will want to use the regular-sized M&Ms, not the mini ones. The regular-sized M&Ms are the perfect size for creating the flower design on top of the mini cookies.
Alternate Binding Agent: If you prefer a no-bake recipe version, you can swap out the white chocolate chips for white vanilla frosting instead. This alternative provides a similar sweet and creamy flavor and is perfect for those who may not have access to white chocolate chips or prefer a different taste. Simply spread a dollop of white vanilla frosting on top of each mini chocolate chip cookie and add the pastel-colored M&Ms on top.
How to Make Flower Cookie Bites Without an Oven
If you want to make this recipe without heating up the house by turning on the oven, you can easily use your microwave instead. Simply place the chocolate chips into a bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Stir the chocolate after 30 seconds and return to the microwave.
When the chocolate has been melted completely and is smooth, spread a small amount onto the backs of the cookies using a butter knife.
Then decorate your cookies and repeat until all of the cookies have been completed.
How long are Flower Cookie Bites good for?
These cookies should be stored in an airtight container, at room temperature, and will last for up to 2 weeks. This will give you plenty of time to enjoy these tasty mini cookies.
When to serve Spring Flower Cookies?
These flower cookies make a perfect snack all season long but they would also make a perfect gift for someone special. They would be great to serve at an Easter lunch, Mother’s Day brunch, or a wedding or baby shower too. Another great idea is to use them to decorate a cake or cupcakes!
