Ingredients
Directions
- Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and cover baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt with a whisk.
- Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Gently fold in the M&M's candies so they are spread evenly throughout the dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges turn a light golden brown.
- Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes, then move them to a wire rack to cool completely.
