Soft, chewy, and bursting with vibrant pops of chocolate, these M&M Sour Cream Cookies are a delightful twist on a classic treat. The secret ingredient—rich, creamy sour cream—adds a subtle tang and keeps the cookies irresistibly moist, while a blend of granulated sugar and brown sugar ensures the perfect balance of sweetness. Studded with colorful M&M candies, each bite is a playful mix of textures and flavors that makes these cookies perfect for any occasion. Quick to prepare with just 15 minutes of prep time, they bake to perfection in under 10 minutes, making them an ideal dessert for busy weeknights or last-minute gatherings. For an extra touch of charm, press a few M&Ms on top of each cookie before baking to showcase their festive colors. Serve these crowd-pleasers at parties, add them to lunchboxes, or enjoy them with a cold glass of milk for the ultimate comfort treat!
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and sour cream to the bowl and mix until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the M&M candies, reserving a few to press on top of the cookies before baking if desired.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these colorful, tangy, and chocolatey treats!
