Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, room temperature
• 1 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs, large
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups flour, unbleached or all-purpose
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 (10.8 oz) bag M&MS mini milk chocolate candies, reserve ¼ cup

Directions

• Preheat an oven to 360 degrees F. I found this temperature to be perfect for my gourmet cookies.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, sugars and salt. Mix on low speed for about a minute, then on medium speed for another minute.
• Add the eggs & vanilla extract. Mix on low until the eggs are blended in, then at medium speed for a minute and then on high speed for an additional minute. The mixture should be a pale yellow color and very fluffy.
• Add the first cup of flour, along with the baking powder and baking soda. Then add the remainder of the flour a cup at a time.
• Mix in the M&MS® mini milk chocolate candies on low speed, reserving ¼ cup for the tops.
• Using a 2 ounce cookie scooper, place dough on ungreased baking sheets about 2 a part. Place a few M&MS mini milk chocolate candies on the tops where needed.
• Bake in a preheated 360 degrees F oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops start to crackle and the cookies are light golden brown.
• Cool on baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
