Chocolate Chip M&M Cookies
I am sending a care package to a dear childhood friend of mine to include these Soft & Chewy M&M Cookies! There is just something happy about a colorful cookie, especially with chocolate packed in every bite!
She and I share many fond memories together from the summer’s we spent together at our cabin. From bike rides down a long gravel road to rent a VHS at the corner gas station to screaming from an inner tube behind the boat!
I am so very lucky to have a childhood packed with great memories. I want the same thing for my son, so we are always looking for fun things to do in the summer. Whether it’s a simple day at the pool to a day trip to Bay Beach, we are trying to give our son lasting fond family memories. We really cherish the time we spend together!
If you want to bake someone happy, then you can give them Brownie Mix Cookies or Homemade Peanut Butter Oreo Cookies, too!
What You’ll Need:
- 1 1/2 cups Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup Butter, Softened
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 2 tsp Vanilla
- 3/4 cup M&M’s
- 3/4 cup Chocolate Chips
How to Make Soft & Chewy M&M Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium size bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/4 tsp salt.
- In a large bowl, beat together 1/2 cup softened butter, 1/2 sugar, and 1/3 cup brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add 1 egg and 2 tsp vanilla.
- Slowly pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and beat together until combined.
- Gently stir in M&M’s & chocolate chips.
- Place 1 inch scoops of cookie dough on the prepared baking sheet, leaving room between the cookies to spread. Bake for 8-11 minutes, until the edges of the cookies are set but the center is still slightly underdone.
Recipe Notes:
- Baking time – You want the edges of the cookies to be set, but the center slightly underdone. This creates a soft cookie. For a crispier cookie, bake for additional 1-2 minutes.
- Round cookies – As soon as the cookie come out of the oven, use the back of a cookie turner/flipper to gently push in the edges of the cookies to round them.
- Pretty cookies – Press in additional M&M’s and chocolate chips as soon as they come out of the oven to give the cookie a pretty finished look!
