Instructions
Follow these easy steps to make your M&M Cookies:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside for later.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time and then stir in the vanilla extract until well mixed.
5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Fold in M&M’s: Gently fold in the M&Ms until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
7. Scoop the Dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space in between each.
8. Add Extra M&M’s: For a decorative touch, press a few extra M&Ms into the tops of the cookie dough balls before baking.
9. Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look soft.
10. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
