These cookies spread during baking! My cookie sheet usually holds 20 cookies but fits only 10 M&M Cookies. Place the M&Ms gently atop the partially baked dough, they settle in perfectly. If you press, even lightly, they will be buried. Seasonal M&Ms transform favorite Christmas cookies into black and orange Halloween treats and pastel Easter goodies.
PERFECT M&M COOKIES
First grabbed, first to disappear
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour, fluffed to aerate before measuring
1 teaspoon table salt
1-1/8 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter at room temperature
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, golden or dark
1 generous teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs at room temperature (or warmed in warm water for 5 minutes)
M&Ms, 6 per cookie
Preheat oven to 375F.
In a small bowl, stir together flour, salt and baking soda.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars with an electric mixer until creamy. Add vanilla, then one at a time, the eggs, mixing well after each. Mix in flour mixture til fully combined.
Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray, Form balls a tad smaller than a golf ball and arrange well apart (see TIPS) on a baking sheet. Place in oven for about 9 minutes. Remove and lightly place M&Ms on top (see TIPS). Return to oven for 3 to 5 minutes. (Cookie sheets vary in performance. Track the exact number of minutes so your cookies neither under- nor over-bake.) Remove from oven and let cool before transferring to a rack to cool.
