Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon no-salt baking powder
- 1.5 cups M&Ms
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 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.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and no-salt baking powder.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Step 6
Fold in the M&Ms gently with a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden brown. Be careful not to overbake, as the cookies will continue to cook on the sheet after being removed from the oven.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy your low-sodium M&M cookies with a glass of milk or as a delightful treat on their own.
