M and M cookies are possibly one of the best cookies I have ever baked, and I bake a lot of cookies. These cookies have the perfect texture and taste! The recipe I use is written by Jamielyn Nye from the website I Heart Naptime.

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips (I substitute them with a half cup M and M’s)
• 1 cup M and M’s

Directions

1. Using a stand mixer, cream together butter and sugars for 1 minute in a large bowl using the paddle attachment. Add in eggs and vanilla and mix.
2. Next add flour, baking soda and salt and whisk until combined. Fold in both chocolate chips and M&M’s to the flour mixture. Refrigerate dough for 15-30 minutes. By chilling the dough it helps them to not fall flat.
3. Scoop cookie dough with a large cookie scoop onto two baking sheets lined with baking mats or parchment paper, about 2 inches apart. Place extra M&M’s on top.
4. Bake M&M cookies at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, until the tops are barely golden. Let set on a pan for 2 minutes, then move to cooling wire racks.
