Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup (packed) brown sugar
- 1 piece large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups M&M candies
- 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
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, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, beating 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 until just combined.
Using a spatula, fold in the M&M candies and optional chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Press a few extra M&M candies onto the tops of each cookie dough ball to make them colorful and attractive after baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look soft. Avoid overbaking to maintain a chewy texture.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your soft and chewy M&M cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
