Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 tablespoons blue gel food coloring
- 1–2 cups M&M’s
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, along with the vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add the blue gel food coloring and mix until you achieve your desired color.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix!
- Fold in the M&M’s, reserving a few for topping if desired.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. They should look slightly underbaked in the center. Let cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Notes
Chilling the dough is crucial for preventing spreading. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
