Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (230 g / 8 oz) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150 g) brown sugar, packed
- ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsps vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup (175 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup (150 g) M&M candies
Instructions
- Preparation: Heat oven to 350F (175C) and line baking trays with parchment or silicone mats for seamless cookie release.
- Creaming: Whip butter and sugars in an electric mixer until light, fluffy, and pale, creating an aerated foundation for tender cookies.
- Liquid Integration: Blend eggs one at a time, incorporating vanilla extract to generate a smooth, homogeneous mixture with rich undertones.
- Dry Ingredient Fusion: Softly fold flour, baking soda, and salt into wet ingredients, maintaining a delicate touch to preserve cookie tenderness.
- Chocolate Embellishment: Fold chocolate chips thoroughly into dough, strategically dispersing M&M candies for vibrant visual and flavor complexity.
- Portioning and Placement: Scoop uniform dough mounds onto prepared trays, spacing adequately to accommodate spreading during baking.
- Final Decoration: Gently press additional M&M candies onto cookie surfaces, ensuring colorful and appetizing presentation.
- Baking and Cooling: Bake 10-12 minutes until edges turn golden yet centers remain slightly soft. Rest briefly on trays before transferring to wire racks for complete cooling and texture refinement.
Notes
- Select Premium Butter: Choose high-quality, unsalted butter at room temperature for superior flavor and consistent creaming results.
- Prevent Overmixing Dough: Mix dry ingredients minimally to maintain cookie tenderness and prevent tough, dense texture.
- Strategic M&M Placement: Reserve colorful candies for surface decoration, ensuring visually appealing and evenly distributed chocolate elements.
- Temperature Control Matters: Remove cookies when edges are golden but centers appear slightly soft, allowing residual heat to complete perfect chewy texture during cooling process.
