Best Soft and Chewy M&M Cookies
Soft and Chewy M&M cookies are a fun treat that brings happiness to both kids and adults. The colorful candies nestled in a buttery, chewy cookie dough will have you reaching for seconds (and maybe thirds). Get your baking apron on and let's bake some M&M cookies!
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cups chocolate chips
- 1 cup M&M's (½ cup more if placing on top)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. About 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Pour in the chocolate chips and M&M's into your cookie batter.
- Gently fold in the M&M's candies and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Place extra M&M's on top, if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy!
