I was recently looking for an M&Ms cookie recipe (my husband is a huge M&Ms fan), when I came across this fantastic recipe for Rainbow M&Ms Cookies from Sally's Baking Addiction. This is the best M&Ms cookie recipe I have found (I have tried several in the past), and is sure to be one that will be made over and over again. I am pretty sure my husband and I finished off these cookies within a day or two (they were so yummy!). I hope you will enjoy these cookies as much as we did. They are the perfect treat for a rainy day or even your next family party!
Chewy M&Ms Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup M&Ms save extra for decoration
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- 2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch together and then set aside.
- 3. Using a hand or stand mixer, cream the butter and sugars until thoroughly combined.
- 4. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla to the sugar mixture and mix well.
- 5. While stirring, slowly add in the flour mixture until a thick dough forms. Fold in the M&Ms, but do not over mix as the M&Ms may crack.
- 6. Chill dough for 30 minutes or overnight (dough can be stored covered for up to five days) in the refrigerator.
- 7. Drop dough two inches apart onto an ungreased baking sheet and press a few M&Ms on top of each cookie.
- 8. Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes or until edges are browned just slightly. Cookies may appear to be undercooked but will harden as they cool.
- 9. Leave cookies on cookie sheet, until cool and remove to baking rack.
