M&M Cookies Recipe
Report
A soft, chewy, buttery cookie that's much like a chocolate chip cookie but replaced with crisp shelled, sweet, multi-colored M&M's instead of chocolate chips. They are an absolute treat and so fun for people of all ages!

Ingredients
- 2 1/3 cups (330g) all-purpose flour* (scoop and level flour to measure)
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup (200g) packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (10 to 11.5 oz bag) M&M's regular or mini size, milk chocolate or dark chocolate
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment cream together butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar on low speed until well blended. Scrape down bowl.
- Mix in egg, then mix in egg yolk and vanilla extract. Scrape down bowl.
- Add flour mixture to butter mixture and mix just until combined. Then add half of the M&M's (3/4 cup) and mix in.
- Scoop dough out 3 Tbsp at a time and shape into balls (I recommend a #20 cookie scoop). Press remaining M&M's (3/4 cup) randomly around each dough ball.
- Transfer to a small baking sheet lined with parchment paper (or a large flat plate), cover and refrigerate 2 hours.
- During the last 15 minutes of chilling preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two 18 by 13-inch baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Transfer 10 dough balls to lined baking sheet, spacing 2-inches apart. Bake in preheated oven until done to desired liking, about 13 to 16 minutes (they should appear slightly puffed and under-baked).
- Let cool on baking sheet 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining cookie dough balls.
Notes
- *If you are at high altitude or if your cookies are normally prone to spreading use 2 1/2 cups (354g) all-purpose flour.
