Easy Homemade M&M Cookies
M&M cookies from scratch that are easy to make!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tsps Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup M&Ms
- 1/4 cup (optional) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with baking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a separate bowl until fully combined. The consistency is important here and should be slightly fluffy and cohesive. Add in the egg and pure vanilla extract, fully mixing until combined.
- On low mixing speed, begin slowly adding in the flour mixture to the sugar/butter mixture until combined.
- Begin stirring in the M&Ms into the batter. Only 3/4's of the total amount and put the rest on the top of the cookie scoop before baking.
- Create small balls of dough, just over 1 inch in size. Place the dough balls on the baking sheets, leaving around 1 1/2 inches between each cookie for them to expand.
- Bake the cookies for roughly 8-12 minutes.
- Allow the cookies to cool for 5-10 minutes outside of the oven.
