Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- 2 eggs at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk chocolate M&M's
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large with a hand mixer), cream the softened butter, granulated sugar and dark brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 5-6 minutes.
- Add the eggs to the batter, and measure in the vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.
- Next, measure the flour, baking powder and salt into the bowl. Start blending on a low speed, then turn up the speed until the batter is smooth and combined.
- Measure in the M&M's (and any other additions you might want to add like mini chocolate chips, etc.) Stir them into the batter using a rubber spatula.
- Use a cookie scoop to scoop the cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, giving about 2" of space between each one so the dough can spread as it bakes. Press a few additional M&M's on to the tops of the cookies.
- Bake for 12-13 minutes, or until the cookies are set, and remove from the oven.
- Cool on a wire cooling rack, and then enjoy!
Notes
- I used a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to make these cookies, and the recipe yielded 38 total cookies. If you use a smaller scoop or a larger one, you will have a different number of cookies in the end.
