These Soft and Chewy M&M Cookies offer a perfect balance of sweet chocolatey flavors and a tender, chewy texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups (188g) all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter (softened but still cool)
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup (70g) brown sugar (lightly packed)
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1½ cups (total) M&M’s and chocolate chips (about 1 cup M&M’s and ½ cup chocolate chips)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
- Beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar for 1 to 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add in the flour mixture on low speed until fully incorporated.
- Gently stir in about 1 cup of M&M’s and chocolate chips into the dough.
- Portion 2-tablespoon-sized dough balls and chill for 30 minutes to one hour.
- Press about 5 reserved M&M’s or chocolate chips on top of each mound of dough.
- Bake for 9-12 minutes until the edges are set and centers are slightly underdone.
- Let the cookies cool completely on wire racks.
Notes
- Chilling the dough helps create a chewier texture.
- For crispier edges, bake 1-2 minutes longer.
