Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Light brown sugar, packed
• 2 whole Large egg
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups M&M candies

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.

Step 6

Gently fold in the M&M candies until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
