Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups candy-coated chocolate pieces (e.g., M&M's)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

Step 6

Fold in the candy-coated chocolate pieces using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed in the dough.

Step 7

Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but still soft.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy the cookies warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
