Ingredients That Make Magic
First thing’s first, gather your ingredients like they’re your crew for a cookie-baking heist:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup M&M’s (or more if you’re feeling bold!)
Let’s Get Baking!
Now that you have your ingredients lined up like good little soldiers, it’s time to start whipping up some cookie magic:
- In a big bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Channel your inner baker—imagining winning “Best Baker” awards is encouraged!
- Add in each egg, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Stir like you mean it!
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually incorporate this dry mixture into your butter-sugar mixture until combined. Don’t be shy—give it some elbow grease!
- Toss in those colorful M&M’s and fold them in like you’re tucking in a cozy blanket on a chilly night.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of cookie dough and place them onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving plenty of room for them to spread their cookie wings.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. They should look like little clouds of happiness.
- Let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Or just dive in while they’re still warm—no one’s judging here!
Once you’ve completed this delicious mission, grab a glass of milk and enjoy your heavenly creations. Each bite will be bursting with sweetness, happiness, and a pop of chocolatey goodness from the M&M’s. So, are you ready to indulge? Let’s get those baking tins flying—it’s cookie time!
