THE BEST M&M COOKIES



The Best M&M Cookies image

We took our favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe and increased the brown sugar to make these cookies extra moist and chewy. Then we super-sized them -- the better to get in more of our favorite candy-coated chocolates. Save some extra candy for topping each cookie before baking. The result, cookies that look just as good as they taste!

Time 2h20m

Yield about 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 1/2 sticks (1 1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups candy-coated chocolates, such as M&M's

Steps:

  • Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl.
  • Beat the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time until smooth, then beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low. Add the flour mixture and beat until combined. Reserve 1/4 cup of the chocolates, then stir in the remaining 1 3/4 cups of chocolates by hand. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the dough and refrigerate until chilled through, about 1 hour.
  • Arrange the racks in the upper and lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Roll the dough into 24 balls, each about 3 tablespoons (alternatively, use a #20 large cookie scoop). Place 6 dough balls on each of the prepared baking sheets; stud the top of each dough ball with some of the reserved chocolates. Bake 2 trays at a time until the cookies are golden around the edges but still soft in the middle, rotating the trays halfway through, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool 10 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough and chocolates.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will taste. This means using real butter, sugar, flour, and eggs.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The cookies should be baked at a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oven is too hot, the cookies will brown too quickly and the centers will be undercooked. If the oven is too cool, the cookies will take too long to bake and they will be dry.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: The cookies should be allowed to cool completely before being stored in an airtight container. If the cookies are stored while they are still warm, they will become soft and sticky.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you'll be able to make delicious M&M party cookies that everyone will love. These cookies are perfect for any occasion, from birthday parties to holiday gatherings. They're also a great way to use up leftover M&Ms. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these M&M party cookies a try!
