Quick and easy M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies with a soft, chewy center and vibrant candy toppings. Perfect for snacks or gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 170 grams salted butter, softened
- 150 grams light brown sugar
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 10 milliliters pure vanilla extract
- 282 grams all-purpose flour
- 6 grams cornstarch
- 5 grams baking soda
- 1 gram table salt
- 320 grams milk chocolate M&M’s, divided
- 90 grams milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer bowl, combine the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Continue beating until well combined.
- Add the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low speed just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.
- Gently fold in 200 grams of the M&M’s and all of the milk chocolate chips using a spatula. Reserve the remaining M&M’s for topping.
- Portion dough into balls using approximately 35 grams of dough each. Roll between hands for a uniform shape or drop in mounds onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Press reserved M&M’s gently onto the tops of each dough ball.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until edges are set and centres appear slightly glossy and underbaked.
- Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 2 to 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Creaming adds air and gives a lighter cookie. Do not overmix once you add flour; that keeps the cookie tender. Slightly underbaked centres stay soft after cooling.
