• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup light brown sugar
• 1 egg, room temperature
• 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 cup M&M’s

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
• Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
• Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
• Fold in Chocolate and M&M’s: Fold in the mini chocolate chips and M&M’s.
• Drop Dough: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
• Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
• Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips for Making the Best M&M Cookies:

• Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for better mixing and consistency.
• Chill the Dough: Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
• Mix-In Extras Last: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips and M&M’s to avoid breaking the candies and ensure even distribution.
• Don’t Overbake: Remove cookies from the oven when the edges are just turning golden. They will continue to bake on the hot baking sheet.
• Add M&M’s on Top: For a more colorful presentation, press a few extra M&M’s on top of each cookie dough ball before baking.

Make-Ahead Tips for the Best M&M Cookies:

Prepare in Advance: Make the dough up to 5 days ahead and store it in the refrigerator. Alternatively, bake the cookies 1-2 days before you need them.

How to Freeze Cookie Dough:

To Freeze Cookie Dough: Scoop the dough into balls and place them on a baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 1 hour. Once firm, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw before baking, or bake from frozen with a few extra minutes.
