Ingredients
- All-purpose flour – 2 1/4 cups (280 grams)
- Baking soda – 1 teaspoon (5 grams)
- Salt – 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 grams)
- Unsalted butter – 1 cup (226 grams), softened
- Granulated sugar – 3/4 cup (150 grams)
- Brown sugar – 3/4 cup (165 grams), packed
- Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters)
- Large eggs – 2
- M&M candies – 1 cup (about 170 grams), plus extra for topping
- Sea salt – for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Gently fold in the M&M candies with a spatula.
- Drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie. Press a few extra M&Ms on top of each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Overmixing the dough can lead to tough cookies; mix until just combined.
- Always preheat your oven to ensure even baking.
- Use a kitchen scale for accurate measurements.
- A sprinkle of sea salt enhances the sweetness of the cookies.
