Mix-ins

120 grams (1 cup) M&M’s, divided

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Butter Mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter and sugar. Mix them well until they are fully integrated. Next, add in the egg and whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 2

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, vanilla powder, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Once sifted, gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until a dough forms. Be sure not to overmix!

Step 3

Add M&M’s

Fold in approximately 2/3 of the M&M’s into the dough. This will add bursts of color and flavor to your cookies. Gently mix so you don’t break the candies, but ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 4

Shape the Cookies

Using your hands, form the cookie dough into balls, each weighing around 35-40 grams (about 1.25-1.5 ounces). Place these cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and slightly flatten each ball with your hand.

Step 5

Decorate and Bake

Top each cookie with a few of the remaining M&M’s for decoration. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the cookies for approximately 12 minutes. They should be lightly golden around the edges.

Step 6

Cool and Enjoy

Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy your delicious M&M’s cookies warm or store them in an airtight container for later.

Servings

When it comes to serving these delightful M&M's cookies, think outside the traditional cookie jar! Place them on a colorful platter for a stunning presentation that catches the eye. You can also stack them high for a fun baker's display at your next picnic or gathering. Imagine the smiles as your guests reach for a cookie, with **chocolatey M&M's** peeking out in every bite! For added flair, sprinkle a dash of sea salt on top to enhance the sweetness, or serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream – bliss! 🍦💖 Think of pairing these cookies with a nice glass of milk or a hot cup of cocoa for those who want a cozy treat. Invite your loved ones to indulge in a **sweet moment of happiness** together! 😍

Faq

  • What is the best way to store cookies?

    Keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days. For longer freshness, you can freeze them!

  • How do I know when the cookies are done baking?

    They're done when the edges are lightly golden, and the centers look set but soft. They’ll continue to firm up as they cool.

  • Can I substitute the M&M’s with other candies?

    Absolutely! Feel free to use chocolate chips, nuts, or seasonal candies for a unique twist.

  • How do I make the cookies softer or chewier?

    Try adding a little extra butter or reducing the baking time by a minute. The dough should still look a bit soft when you take them out.

  • What happens if my dough is too sticky?

    If your dough seems too sticky, chill it in the fridge for about 30 minutes. This will help it firm up for easier handling.

  • Can I double the recipe?

    Of course! Just make sure you have enough baking sheets and space for all those delicious cookies!
