Ingredients
- 0.75 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup (packed) brown sugar
- 1 piece large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups M&M candies
- 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, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, beating until 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 to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Step 6
Using a spatula, fold in the M&M candies and optional chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Press a few extra M&M candies onto the tops of each cookie dough ball to make them colorful and attractive after baking.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look soft. Avoid overbaking to maintain a chewy texture.
Step 10
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Enjoy your soft and chewy M&M cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
