Classic M&M Cookies
This classic M&M cookie recipe can be altered to fit any occasion by swapping out the M&M's!
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup salted butter softened
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cup all purpose flour gently spooned and leveled
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cup M&M candies
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl combine your flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Whisk together until combined and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, mix the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg and vanilla on medium speed until fluffy.
- Add in your flour mixture little by little until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1 1/4 cup of the M&M's with a spatula until evenly distributed.
- Optional: you can chill your dough for up to 24 hours, but it is not completely necessary.
- Scoop the dough into balls (about 29 grams each if you are weighing them) and place them on your cookie sheet. Press the remaining M&M's into the tops of each cookie dough ball.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the edges just start turning golden brown. Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
