Raspberry Scented M&M Cookies
You know when I saw these fabulous Raspberry M&M’s from Target that I was going to create another fun cookie right? Well, that I did! I thought it would be so fun to start with a raspberry butter that brings a perfectly hint of raspberry to each cookie with those delicious Raspberry M&Ms on top! Wait until you try these M&Ms, they are incredible right out of the bag, so try to leave some for the cookies 🙂
Hope you enjoy!!
Here’s your line up!
How to Make The Best Raspberry Cookies
You’ll need just about 1/2 cup of red raspberries to puree.
There are a number of ways you can puree your raspberries. I chose to just place them in my blender with 1 tablespoon water and mix until well combined. I placed the blended berries over my fine strainer to drain the juice. Make sense?
You get this beautiful berry puree. Makes the cookies smell and taste fabulous!
Drizzle 3 tablespoons of your puree into your softened butter.
Pretty!
Raspberry butter in the works!
Ahhhhh, pink raspberry butter!
Add your sugars and mix, mix, mix!
Add 2 beautiful eggs to the mix.
A little splash of vanilla.
Time for the dry ingredients!
I took a moment to capture the flour on the beater. I’m a nerd.
Add your chips.
Give a little taste then press into your muffin top pan! Do you have a muffin top pan yet?! You need one! In all seriousness, they really make awesome cookies.
Oh how fabulous are these Raspberry M&M’s? They really are delicious.
Press the M&M’s into your cookies.
I love how nice and round the cookies turn out. They are perfect for packaging up too!
Serve with milk 🙂
Enjoy!

I was wondering if any company is making mini-muffin top pans. I think that would be a great way to make them for an office party or large get-together with families or at church dinners. I hope some one will take the hint and make them. I’ll buy a couple for sure!!
these look fabulous! i love that you made raspberry butter!! so creative 🙂 i don’t have a muffin top pan — ahhh i know! i totally need one!!
I love the idea of using raspberry butter. I am totally going to try that!!
I just added muffin top pans and raspberry M&M’s to my target list. I could eat about 8 of these, right now.
Because of your amazing blog and cookie recipes, I asked for (and received!!) my very own whoopie pie/muffin top pan for my birthday last week!! I can’t wait to start making your delicious recipes 🙂
What a yummy idea adding the raspberry purée in! A special little touch 🙂
oOoo, excellent idea! 😀
Saw these at the shop the other day and though ewww… but then again I was only thinking about having the whole bag to myself 🙂 But for baking YES
Amazing! And they have real fruit in them, so they are healthy, right?!
These are absolutely gorgeous cookies. I must bookmark these and try them out. I do tend to be scared of sieves for some reason. I never have any luck getting things to strain properly. But for you I will give it a whirl again.
raspberry coulis is my all time favorite!!!
i make so much of it in the summer!
i wish raspberries were in season right now! and where in the world did you find the raspberry m&m’s? if i can track those down i am so making this recipe!!!!!
Ok, I bought a whoopie pie pan last week (Bed, Bath & Beyond didn’t have a muffin top pan in stock and I had a coupon)…looks about the same. It should work, right? I can’t wait to make some cookies in it! These sound so yummy.
I would think they would be pretty close to the same. I have been using a whoopie pie pan to make all my cookies in lately. My kids love the “deep dish” size and the crisp sides, gooey centers I get with the pan.
I can’t believe M & M’s have a raspberry flavor! I love the idea of making a raspberry butter. I bet that really enhances the flavor. Great recipe.
I would probably accidentally use all the raspberry butter on some homemade bread and have nothing to show for myself. Except a smile. Those pans seem to be everywhere right now! Yummy!
I love this M&M flavor, looks perfect with that raspberry butter!
Sure do love the print option and I believe I am going to go and buy a Kitchen Aid.
I am a older woman and should have had one of those years ago. 🙂
Looks so good! But if we don’t have a muffin top pan, how much and how long??
Jenny they look awesome, as usual. I know you love your muffin top pan and I have one (you were the person who gave me the nudge to buy it, okay I bought two) and this reminds me to dust it off!
oooh yummm
These look fantastic!! My mom would love these! Mother’s Day present, here I come!!!
So cool! What a great idea to flavor the butter…these cookies sound (and must have smelled!) scrumptious.
I need some raspberry puree in my life! RecipeBoy is obsessed w/ raspberries- gotta show him these!
Oooh, the raspberry butter is such a great idea!!
Perfect timing! I’ve been holding onto a bag of these M&M’s for months (Oops, should I have made that confession?), and I expect to receive a muffin top pan for my birthday next week. These cookies are going straight to the top of my must-bake list!
You know I love these cookies:) Great recipe Jenny! xo
I’m not even kidding when I say this…my hubby just asked me last night if you had a recipe yet for these M&M’s that he picked up for me and I said no. And here you have one today!! I can not wait to make these!!!!
So glad I could be of some help! Hope you enjoy 🙂
Love this idea…never thought of using flavored butter in cookies!! Can’t wait to try it myself 🙂
I know! Now, I wanna try all kinds of fun butters 🙂
These look fantastic. Love that you made a raspberry butter first!!
Thanks Aimee!!
I need to get some of those M&Ms. I’m scared I would eat the whole bag!
Shelly, Chances are, you’ll eat most of the bag first, so get a couple bags!!
You are killing me PP! Shit, I love raspberry. Must.Make.These!!!!
What beautiful cookies! And, given that I have some raspberry lovers in the house, I know that these cookies will be a huge hit!
So glad to hear it Natalie!
Mmm this sounds so yummy!
Such a great idea to add some raspberry puree!
I love the idea of using some of that raspberry puree in with the butter, it sounds so good!
Wow, great idea! Now, I’m curious… why raspberry “scented”? I read through the whole post but do they not taste like rasp?
Hi Liz, the smell that came from the oven was so beautiful I had to call them raspberry scented, however you do get a hint of raspberry with each bite too 🙂
