GIANT M&M COOKIES
Author: Tag Sale Tastes
Ingredients
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1-1/4 teaspoons baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup butter, softened
  • ⅔ cup sugar
  • ⅔ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 cup M&Ms
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Place butter and sugars in a large bowl, and using an electric mixer, beat until light and fluffy. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla, and beat to combine. Stir in the flour mixture, mixing thoroughly.
  4. Using a ¼ cup ice cream scoop, scoop out dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Do not put more than 6 cookies on a sheet, as they spread a lot. Flatten balls slightly with palm of hand. Cover top of cookies completely with M&Ms, gently pressing the candies into the dough. Bake for 13-17 minutes, until cookies are golden brown and set around the edges (they will firm up as they cool). Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes on cookie sheets, then, using a metal spatula, transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  5. Makes approximately 12 giant cookies.
