Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup granulated sugar (200 grams)
1 cup dark brown sugar (213 grams)
⅔ cup vegetable shortening (123 grams (⅔ stick))
⅔ cup unsalted butter (151 grams, room temperature (1⅓ stick))
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (8 grams)
2 large eggs (100 grams, room temperature)
2¾ cup all-purpose flour (330 grams)
1 teaspoon baking soda (6 grams)
½ teaspoon coarse sea salt ((SEE NOTE))
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2½ cups M&M's candies (425 grams, divided)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and adjust baking rack to middle position. Line 2-3 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the granulated sugar and brown sugar together on low until just combined.
  • Add the shortening and butter, turn mixer to medium speed, and beat until lighter in color and smooth, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the vanilla and beat on medium speed for 30 seconds.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated after each addition. Turn off the mixer.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, coarse salt, and kosher salt together.
  • Add the flour mixture to the sugar/butter mixture and turn the mixer to low speed. Mix just until flour mixture is incorporated.
  • Fold in 1¾ cup M&M candies.
  • If time allows, cover, refrigerate and let the dough rest 1-24 hours. If time doesn't allow, the cookies can be baked immediately and are still terrific without the rest time.
  • Drop the dough, using a 2-inch cookie scoop (about 1½ tablespoons), onto the baking sheets about 2 inches apart (12 cookies to a baking sheet).
  • Press 3-4 additional candies into each cookie.
  • Bake cookies at 350°F for 9 minutes, or just until the edges of the cookies start to set and are a little firmer to the touch.
  • Place baking sheets with cookies on a cooling rack for 2 minutes, then transfer cookies directly to the cooling rack.

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 ingredients: This will make a big difference in the taste of your cookies.
  • Make sure your butter is at room temperature: This will help the cookies to cream together properly.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies to hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: This will help them to get a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before eating: This will allow the flavors to develop fully.

Conclusion:

M&M cookies are a classic dessert that is loved by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find one that you love. So next time you're in the mood for a sweet treat, give M&M cookies a try. You won't be disappointed.
