Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup M&Ms (plus extra for topping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather and measure all ingredients. Ensure butter is softened and eggs are at room temperature for optimal mixing.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: Using an electric mixer, beat softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until light, fluffy, and pale, about 2-3 minutes to create a lighter texture.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined to avoid toughness.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips and M&Ms: Use a spatula to gently fold in chocolate chips and M&Ms evenly, reserving some M&Ms for topping if desired.
  7. Scoop and Bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets spaced about 2 inches apart. Optionally, press extra M&Ms on top for vibrant presentation.
  8. Bake to Perfection: Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft. Cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Chill dough for at least 30 minutes to control spreading and improve flavor.
  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure even mixing and best texture.
  • Do not overmix dough to keep cookies tender and avoid toughness.
  • Choose high-quality M&Ms and chocolate chips for vibrant colors and rich flavor.
  • Monitor baking time closely to maintain soft centers and golden edges.
