Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 piece Large egg
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Mini M&M's or chocolate chips
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 softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, and mix until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the mini M&M's or chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Use a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon to portion out cookie dough balls 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. The centers may still look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as the cookies cool.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy these delicious mini M&M's or chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or as a standalone treat!
