List of Ingredients




2 cups + 2 Tbsp flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 sticks (12 Tbsp) salted butter, melted and cooled

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup sugar

1 egg + 1 egg yolk, room temperature

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup M&Ms

Recipe



Mix flour and baking soda in a bowl and set aside. In another bowl, mix the butter and sugars together until they are combined. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and stir until mixed. Gradually add flour and mix until a dough forms. Fold in the M&Ms.
Divide the dough depending on what size cookies you want: 1/4 cup portions for 18 large cookies or 2 Tbsp portions for 36 smaller cookies. Shape each portion into a ball with your hands then pull each ball of dough apart into two equal pieces. Turn each half so that the rough side of the half (what used to be the inside of the ball) faces upward, and then squish both halves together. Place the dough rough-side up on a cookie sheet.
Bake at 325 degrees for 12-15 minutes (large cookies) or 8-12 minutes (smaller cookies) or until the edges are slightly brown. The centers should be soft and puffy. Do not over bake. Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, then remove and let cool completely on wire racks.
