Make these soft and chewy M&M cookies that feature crispy edges and a comforting, melt-in-your-mouth center. This easy homemade cookie recipe requires no dough chilling time, making it perfect for quick baking or satisfying immediate cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg plus 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 ½ cups M&M’s candies (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Beat in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and M&M’s candies.
  7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Press a few extra M&M’s onto the tops of the dough balls for appearance.
  8. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden brown, but the centers still look slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking, even though this recipe is designed to be ‘No Chill’.
  • Use room temperature eggs for better incorporation into the melted butter mixture.
  • If you want a bakery style look, gently press the dough balls down slightly before baking.
  • These are excellent for holiday cookie baking or kid friendly desserts.
