Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups Easter-themed M&M’s (or regular M&M’s)

 

  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional for extra sweetness)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until combined.
  • Gently fold in the M&M’s (reserve a few to place on top of the cookies before baking) and white chocolate chips, if using.
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Press a few extra M&M’s on top of each cookie for added color and decoration.
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden, but the centers are still soft.

 

  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For softer cookies, remove them from the oven as soon as they begin to turn golden.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

 

  • If you want to make these even more festive, feel free to add pastel-colored sprinkles on top before baking.
