Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups M&M candies
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
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 just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in 1 cup of M&M candies, reserving the remaining 0.5 cup for topping the cookies later.
Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Press a few of the reserved M&M candies onto the top of each dough ball for a colorful presentation.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underbaked. Do not overbake for soft cookies.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your homemade M&M cookies with a glass of milk or on their own!
