Ingredients

  • ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks / 170 g) unsalted butter, cold, cut into cubes
  • 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups (281 g) all-purpose flour
  • cups (67 g) cake flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup (203 g) M&Ms
  • 1 cup (240 g) mini M&Ms

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine cold butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed until creamy and no visible butter chunks remain.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until combined. Add the vanilla extract and continue mixing, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
  • With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix until almost fully combined.
  • Add the M&Ms and mini M&Ms. Mix just until incorporated and the M&Ms are evenly distributed.
  • Divide the dough into 8 large balls.
  • Place 4 cookie dough balls onto each lined baking sheet, spacing them out evenly.
  • Bake for 12-13 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  • Serve warm.
