Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 units Large eggs
- 1.5 cups M&M candies
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
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 medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter mixture, beating well to combine after each addition.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Gently fold in the M&M candies and optional semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls 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. The centers may look slightly underbaked but 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. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
