M&M Cookies
Chewy Bakery Style Recipe for M&M Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened (1 cup, or 8 ounces)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 c. brown sugar, packed
- 2 1/2 tsp. vanilla
- 2 large eggs
- 3 1/4 c. flour (mine measured 392 grams)
- 1/4 c. cornstarch (about 30 grams)
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 10 oz. bag m&m's
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 380 degrees.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. Add eggs and beat in until the batter starts to thicken. (See video for texture.)
- Add in the flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda. Mix just until combined.
- Gently stir in the m&m's, saving a few to press into the tops of the dough balls before baking.
- Scoop into 4 ounce balls (or 12 equal portions), place 4 at a time on a parchment lined baking sheet, and decorate the tops with the reserved m&m's. Depending on the size of your cookie sheet, you may be able to fir 6 per sheet. They spread quite a bit during baking, so start with baking 4 at a time to be on the safe side.
- Bake in a preheated 380 degree oven for about 15 minutes, or until golden around the edges and still a little gooey in the centers. Remove from oven, place cookie sheet on a rack, and allow to cool for 15 minutes or so on the sheets before transferring. ENJOY!
