The Best M&M Cookies

-
🍪 Classic M&M Cookies Ingredients: 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened 1 cup light brown sugar, packed 1/2 cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 cups M&M's (plus extra for topping) (Optional) 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips Instructions: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes). Add the eggs, one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix just until combined. Fold in the M&M's (and chocolate chips, if using). Scoop dough (about 2 tablespoons per cookie) onto baking sheets. Press a few extra M&M's on top of each ball of dough for a bakery-style look. Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until edges are just lightly golden. The centers will look soft — that’s perfect! Let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. 🔁 Tips: For softer cookies, don’t overbake. You can chill the dough for 30 minutes if you want thicker cookies. Use seasonal M&M colors for fun variations!
