Easy Easter M&M Cookies
Soft, chewy and easy to make. Easy Easter M&M Cookies that are perfect for your Easter Celebration. You will love this delicious cookie dough, paired with the chocolatey M&Ms, white chocolate chips and sprinkles.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups easter M&Ms
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- ¼ cup sprinkles
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- In a medium bowl mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment cream the butter and both sugars for several minutes. The butter should become lighter in color and fluffy. Do not rush this process, it is important for the best texture.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Add in the vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
- Slowly add in the dry mixture, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed to fully incorporate the dry ingredients. Once fully combined fold in the M&Ms, white chocolate chips and sprinkles. Reserve a few for topping the cookie dough for presentation.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop the cookie dough using a 1-ounce scoop, or two heaping tablespoons and place dough balls 2 inches apart. Gently press down to slightly flatten.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 2 hours before baking.
- Place the chilled cookie dough in a 350°F oven and bake for approximately 14 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
Notes
For more cookies, scoop out the dough using an 0.5-ounce portion scoop or 1 heaping tablespoon. Bake for 11-12 minutes.
