M&M bleeding in cookies? Here's the trick: Chill those M&Ms! Pop them in the freezer for about 15 minutes before mixing them into your dough. The cold temperature helps them hold their shape better while baking. Happy colorful baking!

To prevent M&M colors from bleeding in cookies, try coating them lightly in flour before folding them into the cookie dough to help absorb excess moisture.

I disagree with coating M&Ms in flour because it can change the texture. I prefer freezing them before adding to the dough to keep the colors intact.

I think chilling the dough for a bit before baking can help too. It keeps everything more stable though.

I usually freeze my M&Ms for a few minutes before adding them to the dough, and it seems to help. I've also heard that tossing them in a bit of cornstarch can create a barrier to prevent bleeding, but I haven't tried that myself.
