Calories: 281kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- ¾ cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour spooned & leveled
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup M&M's
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream the room-temperature butter until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and light brown sugar, then beat until creamy and well combined.
- Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat until fully incorporated.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour (spooned and leveled), baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry and wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough may appear crumbly—this is normal.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and M&M's.
- Use your hands to combine the dough into a soft dough.
- Scoop cookie dough by three tablespoonsful (or use a #20 medium cookie scoop) and place onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake cookies for 9-11 minutes or until the bottoms are light golden brown. Avoid overbaking; the centers should look slightly underdone. They will continue to bake as they cool.
- While the cookies are still warm, press additional chocolate chips and extra M&M candies onto the top of the cookies to make them more colorful if desired.
- Allow the cookies to cool for at least 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
