Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs

  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
  6. Fold in holiday M&M’s and optional chocolate chips.
  7. Scoop dough by rounded tablespoons onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Press a few extra M&M’s on top of each cookie for a festive appearance.
  9. Bake for 9–11 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are soft.
  10. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chilling the dough for 30 minutes helps reduce spreading.Use a cookie scoop for uniform size and even baking.Press additional M&M’s on top of dough balls for a bakery-style look.Add chocolate chips for a richer flavor combo.Store with a slice of bread in the container to keep cookies soft longer.
