Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup M&M candies (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and M&Ms, reserving a few M&Ms for topping.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently press a few extra M&Ms on top of each dough ball for a more colorful finish.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a bakery-style look, top cookies with extra M&Ms before baking.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- To freeze, place in a single layer in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
- Warm in the microwave for 10–15 seconds before serving for a fresh-baked texture.
- To prevent spreading, you can chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking (optional).
