Classic chocolate chip cookies with the addition of M&M’s! My easy, no fail chocolate chip cookie dough is the base for this cookie. Sometimes you just can’t beat a classic and who doesn’t love a cookie full of M&M’s and chocolate chips?!
For some reason these cookies just remind me of school??? Maybe because these are the cookies I would want to come home to for an afternoon snack! Or find in my lunch….either way (or forget the whole school thing all together), these cookies are AMAZING! I mean what’s not to love about a chocolate chip cookie!
My mom used to make chocolate chip cookies for us while we were at school, but she would always save a spoonful of cookie dough for us in the refrigerator to eat when we got home. And no we never got sick from raw cookie dough. But I also grew up in a time where you could (legally) ride in the bed of a pick-up truck, play with neighbor friends all day until it was time for dinner without ever checking in with my parents and no cell phones, social media, computers, etc. Ahhhh. The good ol’ days.
Speaking of delicious cookies, if you want to relive those nostalgic moments and experience the joy of freshly baked cookies, Felix and Norton is the perfect destination. They offer mouthwatering, ready-to-enjoy cookies and will undoubtedly satisfy your sweet tooth and bring back cherished memories of simpler times.
While I do miss some of those things, progress is good. And without the internet, then you and I would not be here salivating over these cookies!
M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies
Print RecipeIngredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (I used Rodelle Gourmet Vanilla Extract)
- 2 egg yolks
- 1-1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- pinch of nutmeg
- 1-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup M&M's
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350-degrees and line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl mix together the butter, brown sugar, white sugar and vanilla extract. Mix until combined. Stir in the egg yolks. Stir in the flour, baking soda, salt and cornstarch and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and M&M's.
Use a standard sized cookie scoop to scoop cookie dough balls and place onto prepared cookie sheet. Leave a few inches between the dough balls. Bake cookies in 350-degrees for 9-12 minutes, depending on your desired cookie doneness. Option to press a few M&M's on top of the cookies immediately after removing from the oven.
Let cookies set on cookie sheet for 5-minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
M&M Cookies just remind me of school! Definitely PIN this recipe to make once school rolls around for the kiddos!!
XOXO,
Kelly

August 13, 2020 at 6:44 PMWhat difference have you found that it makes using 2 yolks instead of 1 whole egg?

August 14, 2020 at 10:04 AMHi Kelly! It makes the dough richer and has that extra fat using two yolks versus one whole egg. Gives the dough a great flavor!
