Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Servings 10 cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1 stick of butter
  • 1 Tsp. of vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cups light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup White sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/4 Cups of Flour
  • 2 1/4 Tsp. Baking Powder
  • ½ Tsp. of Sea Salt
  • 1/2 Cup of M&Ms

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat together softened butter, vanilla, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth and fluffy, add in the egg and continue to beat until just combined.
  • Add in sifted flour, baking powder, and sea salt to the wet ingredients, and mix together until combined, then fold in the M&M candies.
  • Scoop out heaping tablespoon sized balls of the dough and roll into balls before dropping on the cookie sheet. Space the dough 1" apart on the cookie sheet; you should have about 10 cookies.
  • If desired, add extra M&Ms on top of the cookies, pressing them lightly into the dough.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 12-13 minutes, checking to see that the edges are firm but the center is still a bit soft.
  • Remove from oven and let them rest for ten minutes on the baking sheet to firm up before transferring to a wire cooling rack. Store in airtight container.
