Chocolate M&M Cookies
The most distinctive feature of the cookie, which distinguishes it from other cookies, is that it is soft, almost like a cake. Brown sugar is what provides this. So I guess I've already answered your questions, "Is it okay if I don't use brown sugar?" You can of course use white sugar instead of brown sugar. But then that cookie wouldn't be this cookie.
M&M's don't melt, yes, I've never seen them melt either. If something like this has happened to you, you may have baked the cookies at a very high temperature.
If you've been following me for a long time, you know that I usually use less sugar than usual in desserts. That's why I often need to state that if you like too much sugar, increase the amount of sugar. But this cookie is an exception in this regard. It has more sugar in it than I normally use. Unfortunately, this recipe is not one of those recipes that can reduce the amount of sugar. I don't think it would be this tasty if the sugar was reduced. Make an exception and use some sugar this time.
