Soft & Chewy M&M Cookies
Ingredients for M&M Cookies:
1½ cup + 2 tbsp (125g) salted butter
1/2 cup (120g) sugar
¼ cup + 2 tbsp (60g) brown sugar
1 large egg (room temp)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1½ cups (210g) all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup M&M's (plus extra for topping)
1½ cup chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
Instructions:
1. Brown the Butter: Melt the butter in a pan over
low-medium heat, stirring constantly. It will foam and turn golden brown with a nutty aroma. Once amber-colored, remove from heat, transfer to a bowl, and cool for 15-20 mins.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: Whisk brown butter + sugar + brown sugar until smooth. Add egg + vanilla extract and mix well.
3. Add Dry Ingredients: Fold in flour + baking soda until just combined. Then, fold in M&M's + chocolate chips for all that chocolatey goodness!
4. Chill the Dough: Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours (trust me, it's worth it for the best texture!).
5. Preheat Oven: Set to 325°F (160°C).
6. Shape & Decorate: Scoop 1-2 tbsp dough, roll into balls, and place on a lined baking sheet. Press extra M&M's & chocolate chips on top to make them look bakery-style!
7. Bake: Bake for 14-17 mins until edges are set and golden brown but the centers are still slightly soft.
8. Cool & Enjoy: Let cool for 5 mins on the tray, then transfer to a wire rack.
Soft and chewy M&M cookies are the perfect treat for cookie lovers! These irresistible cookies feature a blend of rich chocolate chips and colorful M&M candies that elevate their appeal. To ensure you achieve the best texture and flavor, remember to brown the butter before mixing it with sugars, as this step adds a nutty depth to the taste. When preparing your dough, chilling it for at least 1-2 hours will provide a better structure to your cookies, preventing them from spreading too thin while baking. It's also essential to bake them at the right temperature (325°F) for just the right amount of time—14-17 minutes—so the edges are golden and the centers remain slightly soft and gooey. For those looking to personalize their cookies, consider swapping M&M's for other flavors or adding in nuts for an extra crunch. Whether you’re preparing these cookies for a festive gathering, a casual snack, or just for some sweet indulgence, they are sure to impress. Enjoy baking your M&M cookies and savor the delightful experiences they bring!
