M&M Cookies (Soft & Chewy)
Description
This recipe calls for room temperature unsalted butter creamed with granulated and brown sugars, which helps build a moist texture and mild caramel notes. The addition of egg and vanilla extract provides binding and flavor. Dry ingredients include flour, baking powder, and baking soda, ensuring proper rise and softness. Half the M&M's are folded into the dough, while the rest are added on top before baking to showcase their colors.
Baking at 350°F for 7 to 11 minutes, depending on cookie size, allows the edges to set while keeping centers soft. Removing cookies when still slightly soft ensures they finish baking out of the oven without drying. The result is a chewy cookie with colorful candy pieces that add texture and sweetness.
These cookies are suitable for snacking or sharing and maintain softness when stored properly.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter room temperature, unsalted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- salt pinch
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup M&M's
Instructions
- Prepare all the ingredients. The butter should be at room temperature. Preheat oven to 350 °F.
- Beat the butter with both sugars. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the flour with baking powder and baking soda. Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on a low speed.
- Add half of the M&M's to the dough. Scoop the cookie dough and place on a lined baking sheet. Add the remaining M&M's to the tops of the cookies.
- Bake the cookies for 7-11 minutes, depending on the size of the cookie. Remove cookies from the oven while they still appear a little soft, they will harden as they cool. Enjoy!
