White Chocolate Chip M&M Cookies

After posting my delicious, sure to please, Chocolate Chip Cookies on Instagram. I got tons of requests for an easy, holiday Cookie recipe so here it is: Let me know how it turns out!

Ingredients:

1 ¾ cup all purpose flour

1 tsp. baking soda

¾ cup packed light brown sugar

¼ cup granulated sugar

1 egg

½ tsp. vanilla extract

1 stick salted butter (room temperature) cut into chunks

¾ cup white chocolate chips

1 cup of chocolate M&Ms

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees .

In a large bowl using a mixer, combine flour, baking soda, brown sugar, and white sugar together.

Next add your egg, vanilla and chunks of butter. Mix well about 30 seconds or until dough starts to form.

Finally, add white chocolate chips and mix until its well combined.

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Using a cookie scoop, scoop mounds of cookie dough onto a plate. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. After cookie dough is chilled, place the mounds on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.

To add M&M’s, either press them into the fully formed cookie dough balls then bake or go ahead and bake the cookies and as soon as they come out of the oven, then press your m&m’s into each cookie.  I do the latter. Pressing the M&M’s in after baking looks nicer.

Bake for about 12 minutes or until golden brown at 350 degrees.

Makes about 2 dozen cookies. Store in air tight container.
