Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg

Instructions
- Beat softened butter and sugars with an electric hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth.
- Next add in your egg and vanilla extract then mix again on low until combined.
- In a separate bowl combine your flour, baking soda, and salt. Once combined gradually add this to your wet ingredients. Add in about ¾ of a cup of the dry ingredients at a time to your wet and mix to combine before adding in more.

- Once chilled scoop out 2 tablespoons of batter and roll into 2-inch balls.
- Place cookie dough balls on your prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Gently press in remaining M&Ms to the top of each cookie. Carefully not to press down the cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to stand on the pan for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Tip: Flattening the cookies will cause them to spread out more during baking, making them crispier.
