Pumpkin Spice M&M Sugar Cookies
Description
This recipe incorporates softened unsalted butter and white sugar creamed together then blended with eggs and vanilla extract to form a creamy base. The dry ingredients include all-purpose flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt, which are gradually added to the wet mix and combined into a dough. Pumpkin spice M&Ms are folded into the dough for bursts of spiced candy flavor throughout the cookie. A portion of the M&Ms is reserved to place on the top of each cookie before baking, creating an attractive and tasty topping.
Baked at 350°F for about 12 minutes, the cookies set with a soft crumb and spiced aroma from the pumpkin pie spice. The M&Ms add chewy sweetness and occasional crunch. The recipe balances the familiar sugar cookie base with seasonal pumpkin spice characteristics, making it suitable for autumn and holiday baking.
The process includes forming dough balls to control cookie size. Cooling on a wire rack finishes off the texture properly.
