M&M Chocolate Cookies Recipe
Bake the best M&M Chocolate Cookies with our simple recipe. Loaded with M&Ms and rich chocolate flavour, these cookies are perfect for any sweet tooth craving.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup M&Ms (mini or regular-sized)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugars until light and fluffy. This will take about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add the dry and wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the M&Ms and chocolate chips (if using) with a rubber spatula. Be gentle to avoid breaking the candies.
- Scoop the dough into rounded tablespoons and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. You can gently press a few extra M&Ms onto the tops of the dough balls for decoration.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
