Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Half bag of Christmas Colored M&M’s

Instructions

  • Cream together the butter and sugars in a mixer for 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla, making sure to scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl.
  • Add the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder and mix on low until everything is incorporated. Fold in 1 ¾ cups of the M&M’s.
  • Scoop out 2 tablespoons of dough, and transfer to a baking sheet, they can be closely spaced together as this is how they will chill.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes if they are scooped into balls. If you’re chilling the dough in the mixing bowl, chill for at least 2 hours.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place 12 of the cookie dough balls on a parchment lined baking sheet. Add a few M&M's on top of each cookie, making sure the M&M's stick into the dough.
  • For cookies that are soft in the middle, bake for 11-13 minutes until just slightly golden around the edges. If you want them crisp, bake for 13-15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before transferring them off the baking sheet and onto a cooling rack.
