Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Holiday-themed M&M's
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
Step 3
Add in the vanilla extract and the eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until the ingredients are well combined.
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 mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to ensure soft cookies.
Step 6
Gently fold in the holiday-themed M&M's and, if desired, the semi-sweet chocolate chips, using a spatula or spoon.
Step 7
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of cookie dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve these festive cookies at your Christmas party or package them as a homemade gift. Enjoy the holiday cheer with every bite!
