M&M's cookies have a history that reflects the union between homemade baking and the popularity of M&M's chocolates, created by Mars, Incorporated in the 1940s. This combination began to gain popularity in the United States as a variation of classic chocolate chip cookies, adding colors and a crunchy touch that delights both children and adults. In various Latin American countries, these cookies may be known simply as "cookies with candy" or "confetti cookies," although the specific name "M&M Cookies" is very recognizable thanks to the fame of the brand. Their simplicity and versatility have made this recipe easily adaptable to different tastes and culinary traditions.
