Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup M&M candies
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and sour cream to the bowl and mix until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the M&M candies, reserving a few to press on top of the cookies before baking if desired.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these colorful, tangy, and chocolatey treats!
