Servings: 20
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Salted Butter, softened to room temperature
- ¾ Cup Brown Sugar of Choice, packed
- ½ Cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 Large Eggs + 1 Large Egg Yolk
- 1 Tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 2 ¾ Cups All Purpose Flour
- 2 Cups Chocolate Chips of Choice
- 2 Cups Milk Chocolate M&M’s
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs + egg yolk, and vanilla, mixing well. Mix in the baking soda, baking powder, salt until well combined.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and M&M candies until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Use a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion out dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Chill the dough balls in the refrigerator while preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Once the oven is preheated, remove the chilled dough balls from the refrigerator and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Makes about 20 cookies. Enjoy these delicious M&M chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage!
