Ingredients

  • 1 ½ Cup All Purpose Flour
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ Cup Unsalted Butter Melted
  • ½ Cup Light Brown Sugar
  • ¼ Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Egg
  • ¾ Cup Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • ½ Cup Mini M&M

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a sheet pan with parchment paper 
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside 
  • In a small microwave safe bowl, melt the butter to be almost fully melted but not hot 
  • In a mixing bowl with paddle attachment, combine the melted butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar and vanilla extract; mix until combined and creamy
  • Add the egg to the butter mixture and mix until fully combined 
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients into the butter and sugar mixture and beat on medium speed until smooth
  • With the mixer on low speed, add in the chocolate chips and mini M&M’s 
  • Using a 1 tablespoon scoop or spoon, scoop the batter into a ball and place on the prepared sheet pan about 3 inches apart.  
  • Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven for 6-7 minutes (cookies will still be very light in color...do not over bake)
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely 
  • Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze if you are not enjoying immediately

Notes

  • Room Temperature ingredients will give you the best outcome when baking M&M Cookies
  • Refrigerate the dough before scooping and baking for a nice and thick texture
  • Use a small ice cream scoop to ensure that all cookies bake the same size
  • To make these even better, add extra m&m's and chocolate chips to the top of the unbaked cookie dough balls
