Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter 2 sticks (softened)
3/4 cup white granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon pure baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cup M&Ms divided
1 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and heat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine the butter, sugar, brown sugar, and cream together using a hand mixer until smooth.
3. Once smooth, mix in the eggs and vanilla extract.
4. Slowly stir in the unbleached flour, baking soda, and kosher salt until a soft dough forms.
5. Fold in about 3/4 cup M&Ms and mini chocolate chips into the cookie dough.
6. Use a spoon or cookie scoop to create 2 tablespoons of cookie dough balls and place them about 2” apart on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Press cookies down a little and add a few M&Ms to the top before baking.
8. Bake for 9 minutes or until the edges start to brown.
9. Remove from the oven and immediately press more M&Ms to the tops of the cookies.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 8 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

1. You do not have to add the M&Ms to the tops of the cookies, you can always add all of the M&Ms to the dough before baking.

2. Measure the flour properly. You should never use the measuring cup to scoop the flour. Instead, scoop the flour into the measuring cup with a spoon. Then, level it off with a butter knife.

3. Do not overbake we want the center to stay soft with crispy edges.
