Baking Chewy Chocolate Chip M&M cookies is a delightful and straightforward process. Here's a simple recipe to help you make these delicious cookies:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup M&M candies (you can use regular or mini M&M's)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips and M&M candies into the cookie dough, distributing them evenly.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown while the centers still look slightly soft. Avoid overbaking if you prefer chewy cookies.
Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your delicious Chewy Chocolate Chip M&M cookies with a glass of milk or store them in an airtight container for later.
Note: You can also get creative and try different variations by adding chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or other mix-ins to the cookie dough. Additionally, make sure not to overmix the dough to maintain the cookies' chewy texture. Happy baking!
