Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups (325g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup (168g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup (112g) packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (52g) sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup M&Ms
- 1 cup (169g) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
- Combine the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium-sized bowl and set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugars together in a large mixer bowl on medium speed until light in color and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. You should be able to see the change in color happen and know it’s ready.
- Add the eggs one at a time and mix until well combined after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix until mostly combined. Do not over mix.
- Add the M&Ms and chocolate chips and use a silicone spatula to fold everything together into a uniform cookie dough. The cookie dough will be thick.
- Make cookie dough balls that are 4 tablespoons (68g) in size and place onto the prepared baking sheet 2-3 inches apart. They will spread, but not a ton. Use your fingers or a spatula to shape the cookies and make them round. They won’t shape easily after they come out of the oven.
- Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes. The cookies will spread a bit and the centers will look soft. Remove just before the edges begin to turn golden. Don’t over bake.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on baking sheets for 4-5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- I used a large 4-tablespoon cookie scoop that they don’t sell anymore, but you can also get the 2-tablespoon cookie scoop and combine 2 scoops.
- For smaller cookies, make cookie dough balls that are 2 tablespoons in size and bake for 7-9 minutes
