Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cake flour
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup butter cubed, cold
- 1 cup dark brown sugar firmly packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
- 2 cups M&M candies plain
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine flours, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda. Whisk lightly until well mixed. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, cream together cold butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined and smooth. About 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time and mix until smooth. Add vanilla and mix until combined.
- Switch to paddle attachment and mix in flour mixture until smooth.
- Add in M&Ms and chocolate chips and mix until just combined (or you can stir them in with a spoon by hand).
- Using an ICE CREAM scoop (not a cookie scoop), scoop cookies into large balls (about 6-8 ounces each) and press extra M&Ms into the cookie dough balls (this makes it so the pretty M&Ms will show after baking).
- Place dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Note: If you don't have room to put a baking sheet in your refrigerator, just portion out the balls and place them on a plate, then transfer to baking sheet after refrigerating.
- Heat oven to 425-degrees F. Bake in batches of 6 cookies (you can refrigerate them all on one baking sheet but don't bake them all at once). Place cookies in the oven and bake for 9-11 minutes (do not over bake).
- Place cookies on a wire cooling rack and allow to cool at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes
- To make smaller cookies (traditional size), reduce oven heat to 375-degrees and bake 8-10 minutes.
- These cookies get better the longer they rest. You will find that they are even BETTER the next day!
