Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups M&M’S candies
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and stir until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in M&M’S and mini chocolate chips if using.
- Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon portions and place on prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers are still soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Don’t overbake—cookies will continue to set as they cool.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies, if desired.
- Press a few extra M&M’S on top of each dough ball before baking for a bakery-style look.
