Preheat the oven to 175Β°C (350Β°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed, until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the jelly beans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underdone but will firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these fun, colorful Jelly Bean Cookies!
