Red, White, and Blue M&M Cookies

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat liner.

Step 2

In a medium size mixing bowl combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In the bowl of an electric mixer, using the paddle attachment, combine butter, brown sugar and white sugar. Cream together until well incorporated.

Step 4

Add in the egg and vanilla and continue mixing until well mixed.

Step 5

Gradually add in dry ingredients mixing thoroughly between each addition.

Step 6

After the dry ingredients are all incorporated add in the chocolate chips and M&M’s gently mix on low until they are well distributed through the dough. I like to use the dough hook for this step but you can use the paddle attachment.

Step 7

Scoop the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet. To make these cookies nice and big scoop 2 Tbsp at a time. I like to use an ice cream scoop. If desired press additional M&M’s into the dough scoops to decorate the cookies.

Step 8

Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for 1-2 minutes and then move to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Store in an airtight container.
