Description
Delicious cookies loaded with M&Ms, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (Make sure your butter is softened but not melted.)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup M&Ms (or as desired) (Feel free to swap M&Ms with chocolate chips or other mix-ins.)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking those cookies.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Gently fold the M&Ms into the cookie dough until they are evenly distributed.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, grab a glass of milk and enjoy your delicious Perfect M&M Cookies!
Notes
- Make sure not to over-bake the cookies for a softer texture.
- You can customize the mix-ins to your preference, such as using chocolate chips.
