Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 ⅔ cups granulated sugar
- 2 eggs room temperature preferred
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- green food coloring i used Americolor leaf green
- 1 ½ cup red and green m&ms divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line several baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer (or stand mixer) to cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract and stir until thoroughly combined.
- In a separate, medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet until completely combined.
- Add food coloring (if using) and stir until fully combined.
- Add M&Ms (I add slightly over a cup/about 240 grams at this point and reserve the rest for topping the cookies, but you can stir them all into the batter if you prefer) and use a spatula until evenly distributed through batter.
- Scoop by 1 ½ Tablespoon-sized scoop and drop onto baking sheet, spacing cookies at least 2” (5cm) apart.
- Bake in center rack of 350F (175C) preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately top with reserved M&Ms (if you reserved any). Allow cookies to cool completely on baking sheet before enjoying.
