Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional)
  • 1 cup M&M candies
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch.
  5. Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Fold in most of the M&Ms and chocolate chips, reserving some for topping.
  7. Scoop dough onto baking sheets and press a few extra M&Ms on top of each ball.
  8. Bake for 9–11 minutes, until edges are set and centers look slightly underbaked.
  9. Let cool on the baking sheet for 2–3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Underbake slightly for extra softness.
  • Chill dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
  • Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to maintain softness.
  • Freeze dough or baked cookies for up to 2 months.
