Big Chewy M&M Cookies

Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups M&M candies (plus extra for topping)
• Optional: 1 cup chocolate chips (for extra chocolatey goodness)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in M&Ms: Gently fold in the M&M candies (and chocolate chips if using) until evenly distributed.
7. Shape Cookies: Scoop large tablespoons of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Press a few extra M&Ms on top of each cookie for decoration.
8. Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.
9. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
