Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a paddle attachment.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a medium 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 the M&M candies and chocolate chips (if using) with a spatula.
Using a medium cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden while the centers remain soft. Do not overbake.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these delicious Ultimate M&M Cookies with a glass of milk or store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
