Ingredients
- 3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks / 227g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 ½ cups (300 g) light brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups M&M's Holiday milk chocolate candy
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment (or a handheld mixer), beat the butter on medium-high speed until smooth (about a minute).
- Add both sugars and mix on medium-high speed until smooth (about 2 minutes).
- Add the eggs and vanilla, beating until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix on low until combined.
- With the mixer still on low (or by hand), add the M&M's and mix until incorporated. (If using an electric mixer, only mix for a few seconds.)
- Cover the bowl and let the dough chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, up to overnight.
- When ready, remove the dough from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Drop spoonfuls (2-3 tablespoons) of dough onto baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12 minutes. The cookies are done when the sides are lightly browned and the centers still look soft.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
