Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Fold in the M&M’s and mini chocolate chips if using.
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are just set.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Do not overbake to keep the centers soft.
Chill the dough for 30 minutes to prevent spreading.
Use themed M&M’s for seasonal variations.
