Ingredients

Scale

Makes about 24 cookies

  • For the cookies:
    • 1 cup (230 g) unsalted butter, softened
    • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
    • 3/4 cup (150 g) brown sugar, packed
    • 2 large eggs
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 2 1/4 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup (175 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
    • 1 cup (150 g) M&M candies

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. Cream the butter and sugars:
    • In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla:
    • Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, until smooth and well combined.
  4. Mix the dry ingredients:
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. Fold in the mix-ins:
    • Stir in the chocolate chips and most of the M&M candies, reserving a few to press onto the tops of the cookies before baking.
  6. Shape the cookies:
    • Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough (or use a cookie scoop) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Add the extra M&Ms:
    • Press a few reserved M&M candies gently onto the tops of each dough ball for a colorful appearance.
  8. Bake the cookies:
    • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers look slightly underbaked (they will set as they cool).
  9. Cool and serve:
    • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use seasonal M&M colors for holidays or special occasions.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze unbaked cookie dough balls for up to 3 months; bake directly from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the baking time.
