Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups M&M’s candy pieces
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until combined.
- Beat in 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, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the M&M’s and chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Press a few extra M&M’s onto the tops of the dough balls for appearance.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers look slightly underdone.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For the softest center, slightly underbake these cookies; they will set up as they cool.
- If you want thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes, even though this recipe is designed to be no chill.
- Use room temperature eggs for better incorporation into the batter.
