Have you been looking for the perfect cookie recipe apt for this time of the year? Well, here’s one of my all-time favorites using simple ingredients but with an extra dose of deliciousness. M & M cookies loaded with your favorite M & Ms. Don’t you love the multitude of colors and extra addition of chocolate in these cookies? Super yum! Start with beating together butter and sugar. Make sure butter is at room temperature and has no added salt. I used brown sugar in this recipe, and it adds more richness to the cookies. Beat in egg and vanilla extract. Now, beat in the dry ingredients – flour, baking soda and salt. Next up, fold in the special ingredient of these cookies – M & Ms. You’ll need to bring together the dough using your hands. The dough needs to be soft and not sticky. At this point, we’ll refrigerate the dough for these M & M cookies for about 15-30 minutes. Scoop about 3tbsp of dough onto baking sheets. I made large cookies, however, use more or less dough to customize the size of the cookies. The M & M cookies I made turned out to be soft and chewy with crispy edges. I also added a few more M & Ms on the top of the dough to make them really beautiful. And there you go. The perfect holiday cookies just for you.
