M&M Cookies

Recipe & Image taken from http://www.sunnysideupsd.com/

2 cups plus 2 Tbsp flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 sticks (12 Tbsp) salted butter, melted and cooled
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg + 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup mini m&ms regular m&ms are also OK

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Prepare a cookie sheet by lining with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour and baking. Set aside.

In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugars until well combined. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla, beating until combined. Gradually stir in the flour until it forms a dough, then mix in the M&Ms.

To make giant cookies, take 1/4 cup of dough and shape into a ball. Place the ball on the cookie sheet and press down slightly with the bottom of a cup or measuring cup to flatten (for smaller cookies, portion into 2 Tbsp balls).

Be sure to leave several inches between cookies to allow for spreading!

Bake for 12-15 minutes (reduce to 8-10 minutes for smaller cookies) or until the edges start to turn golden brown, but the centers are still soft and puffy.

Allow to cool on wire rack and enjoy!
