Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups M&Ms (any variety)
- 0.5 cup optional semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes, until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, and mix until 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 ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Gently fold the M&Ms (and optional chocolate chips) into the dough using a rubber spatula, ensuring even distribution.
Step 7
Scoop approximately 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie and roll it into a ball. Place the cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one.
Step 8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden while the centers remain soft. Do not overbake.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week (if they last that long!).
