These M&M Cookies are a classic chocolate chip cookie dough packed full of M&Ms! They're soft and buttery in the middle with a perfectly crispy edge. Ready in just 20 minutes!

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup lightly packed brown sugar ((200 grams))
  • 1 cup granulated sugar ((200 grams))
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3 cups all purpose flour ((390 grams))
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup chocolate chips ((divided))
  • 1 cup M&Ms (plus more for the top)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven 350 degrees F.

  2. 2

    In the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large bowl with an electric mixer), cream together butter and sugars.

  3. 3

    Add in eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth.

  4. 4

    Add flour, salt, and baking soda and beat on low speed until combined. Stir in ¾ cup of chocolate chips and M&Ms with a spatula.

  5. 5

    Scoop cookie dough into 3 tablespoon balls and place 2″ apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Add extra chocolate chips on top if desired (the remaining ¼ cup).

  6. 6

    Bake for 8-10 minutes until just golden at the edges (they should look be slightly glossy in the center -- they will continue to set as they cool). While hot, press additional M&Ms into the tops of the cookies (optional, but recommended).

  7. 7

    Allow to cool 10-15 minutes on the pan before removing to a cooling rack.
