20 Minute M&M Cookies
One bowl, 20 minutes, 6 delicious m&m cookies
Ingredients
- 50 g unsalted butter (3 ½ tbsp.)
- 65 g light brown sugar (⅓ c.)
- 1 egg yolk
- ½ tsp. vanilla
- 65 g all purpose flour (½ c.)
- ¼ tsp. baking soda
- ¾ tsp. baking powder
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 56 g mini m&m's (¼ c.) + extra for topping
- 56 g semi sweet chocolate chips (¼ c. + 1 tbsp.)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F / 175°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or with a silicone mat.
- In a medium sized microwave safe bowl, melt the butter in 20 second intervals, until it's *just* melted. The hotter the butter, the more the cookies will spread.
- Add the light brown sugar into the butter and whisk until combined.
- Add in the egg yolk and vanilla, and whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Add in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Use a rubber spatula to lightly fold the mixture together until there are only a few flour streaks remaining. Add in the mini m&m's and chocolate chips, and fold just until no flour streaks remain.
- Use a 3 tbsp. cookie scoop to dish out the cookies and evenly space them out on the baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the middles of the cookies are almost completely set.
- Immediately after taking the cookies out of the oven, you can take a bowl that is slightly larger than the cookies and swirl it around over the cookies to make them a little more uniform and circular. Serve and enjoy!
