Howdy Foodies! Welcome to today's post where we'll be exploring the delicious world of baking. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the smell of fresh cookies wafting through the air to bring a smile to our faces!
Now, as we all know, baking can sometimes be a bit of a tricky business. Despite our best efforts, sometimes things just don't turn out quite as we expected. But hey, that's all part of the fun, right? I mean, who hasn't had a cookie turn out more like a hockey puck at least once in their life? (Just me? Okay then!)
But fear not, my friends, because today's recipe for M&M cookies is a tried-and-true classic that's guaranteed to turn out beautifully. So let's get those ovens preheating and start whipping up a batch of these sweet treats!
Special Tip: When making cookies, always make sure your butter is at room temperature before starting. Softened butter mixes more easily with other ingredients and helps create a lighter, fluffier texture. Also, if you want to create a more uniform cookie shape, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.

Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups M&M candies
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the M&M candies with a rubber spatula.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
