Number Of Ingredients 11

9 ounces all-purpose flour (2 cups spooned and leveled)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
4 ounces unsalted butter (1/2 cup, room temperature )
4 ounces granulated sugar (1/2 cup)
2 ounces brown sugar (1/4 cup)

2 teaspoons vanilla extract
10 ounces M&M candy (2 cups)
1/2 tsp salt

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350ºF and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Cream the softened butter, white sugar and brown sugar together in the bowl of your stand mixer with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy. About 2 minutes.
  • Add in your egg, egg yolk and vanilla and cream on low until combined. Scrape the bowl to make sure everything is combined evenly.
  • Add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and mix on low until combined.
  • Scoop the dough onto your cookie sheet using a #20 scoop (about two tablespoons per scoop) and place a few M&M's on top so you can see the colors when they bake.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the center of the cookie is no longer shiny. Cookies will be pale.

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.

M&M COOKIES



M&M Cookies image

These easy one-bowl cookies make the best gifts and add nostalgia to any cookie plate. But they're also great for when you just want a really good homemade cookie as quickly as possible. This part is essential: The butter must be soft enough to whisk by hand. Use butter that's been sitting at room temperature for a long while, even overnight or up to 24 hours. Chopping the M&M's into rainbow shards creates a more even distribution of chocolate and candy coating throughout the dough. When these cookies bake, they will rise slightly then fall as they cool, one of the most beautiful indicators of deep chewiness.

Time 30m

Yield About 16 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter, very soft
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
1/4 packed cup/57 grams dark brown sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal) or ¾ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups/185 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 cup/96 grams M&M's

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees and line 2 large sheet pans with parchment.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the butter, sugars, egg, vanilla and salt by hand until smooth and fluffy, at least 1 minute. Whisk in the baking soda, then switch to a rubber spatula. Add the flour, then carefully and coarsely chop the M&M's, and add them, too. Gently stir to combine. Place the bowl in the refrigerator while you wait for the oven to finish heating.
  • Using two spoons or a cookie scoop, plop out 2-tablespoon/50-gram rounds spaced a couple of inches apart on the sheet pans. (You should get about 8 cookies per pan.) Bake until lightly golden at the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool completely on the sheet pan; they will continue to cook as they sit.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cookies.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying them. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.

Conclusion:

M&M cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of cookies that will be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack, give these M&M cookies a try.
