Description
Delicious homemade M & M cookies, perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Cold Butter (cut into cubes and microwave on high for 8 seconds)
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 2/3 cup Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla
- 2 3/4 cups Flour
- 3/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch (optional – this makes softer, thicker cookies)
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Plain M & M’s (plus more for placing on top of cookie dough balls)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and sugar for 4 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs and vanilla. Mix for 1 minute longer.
- Stir in flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix just until combined.
- Fold in M & M’s.
- Scoop cookie dough onto baking sheets. I suggest using parchment paper or Silpat silicone baking sheets on light-colored baking sheets.
- Place extra M & M’s on top of cookie dough balls so the M & M’s show up after baking.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the edges just begin to turn a light golden color.
- Remove from oven and let set for 5 minutes before removing from the cookie sheet.
Notes
- For softer cookies, consider adding the optional cornstarch.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for freshness.
- Experiment with other types of M & M’s for varied flavors.
