M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies
These m&m chocolate chip cookies are loaded with mini and regular size m&m's and mini chocolate chips. They're soft and chewy with little bits of chocolate in every bite.
Ingredients
- ½ cup (113.5 g) butter room temperature
- ½ cup (110 g) brown sugar
- ⅓ cup (66.67 g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) baking powder
- ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) baking soda
- ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) salt
- 1½ cups (187.5 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (90 g) mini chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup (20.67 g) regular sized m&m's
- ¼ cup (59.15 g) mini m&m's
- flaked salt for topping
Instructions
- Place the butter and sugars in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Mix in your egg and vanilla.
- Slowly mix in baking powder, baking soda, salt and flour being careful not to over mix. I usually stop when I still have some flour remnants around the bowl.
- Fold in chocolate chips and m&m's.
- Scoop the dough into cookie balls, I like to use a 3 tablespoon scoop for these. You can chill dough for 2-24 hours if you have the time, but it isn't necessary.
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Place 6-7 cookie balls per baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown. As soon as they come out of the oven press a few extra m&m's in to the tops and sprinkle with flaked salt.
Notes
There is no chilling required for this dough, but I still like to if I have the time. It always helps to lend itself to a slightly better flavored cookie, and also helps with the spreading.
If using holiday m&m's just sub in regular size m&m's for mini since they don't make mini in holiday colors.
I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.
