Description
Delicious and classic M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (6 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup (6 oz) M&M’s candies
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and M&M’s candies.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Do not overbake.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
- For chewier cookies, use more brown sugar than granulated sugar.
- Ensure butter is softened but not melted for best results.
- Do not overmix the dough after adding the dry ingredients to maintain a tender texture.
