M&M Cookie Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups M&M candies

Instructions:

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

2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Mix in the vanilla extract until smooth.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

5. Mix Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Add M&M Candies: Gently fold in the M&M candies until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7. Form Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the dough and roll it into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them a few inches apart.

8. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

9. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

10. Serve: Serve the M&M cookies with a glass of milk, and enjoy their colorful, chocolatey goodness!

11. Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. They also freeze well for longer storage.
