ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2/3 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup M&Ms
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 2
In the bowl of stand mixer (or with a hand mixer), cream together butter, white sugar, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract on medium speed for about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of your bowl. Add egg and mix on medium/low speed until just incorporated.
Step 3
Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture. Mix on low until just incorporated. Do not over-mix!
Step 4
Fold in ¾ cup M&Ms with a spatula.
Step 5
No need to refrigerate the dough! Add 2 tablespoons of dough, about an inch apart, on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes until cookies are just set. Don’t over-bake!
Step 6
Right out of the oven, press 3-4 M&Ms on top of each cookie. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before serving or transferring to a wire rack.
