Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup light 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 plain M&M's
• 1 cup mini M&M's

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing 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 into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the plain M&M's and mini M&M's using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers look slightly underbaked.

Step 9

Remove 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.

Step 10

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or enjoy them immediately for the ultimate soft and warm experience.
