White Chocolate Chip Cookies with M&Ms
Yield: 16-20 cookies
Prep Time: 15 minutes / Bake Time: 12-14 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, browned
- 1 ¼ cups brown sugar
- ½ cup white granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup white chocolate chips
- ½ cup pastel m&ms
- Pastel Sprinkles
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×11 baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a saucepan melt the unsalted butter until browned, then pour in a large mixing bowl.
Add the 1 ¼ cups of brown sugar, and ½ cup of white granulated sugar to the butter. Beat together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Mix until fully combined.
Then pour in the 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, ¾ teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet, mixing until the dough comes together.
Stir in ¾ cup of white chocolate chips and ½ cup of pastel M&Ms until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Sprinkle pastel sprinkles on top of each cookie dough ball for a festive touch, topping with extra M&M’s if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy!
FAQ
Can I use regular M&Ms instead of pastel ones?
Absolutely! Regular M&Ms will work just as well and add a vibrant burst of color to your cookies. Plus you can customize them for any holiday! Feel free to use whichever variety you prefer or have on hand.
How should I store these cookies to keep them fresh?
To keep your cookies soft and chewy, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay fresh for up to a week, but we bet they’ll be gone long before that!
Can I freeze the cookie dough for later use?
Yes, you can! Scoop the dough into balls and freeze them on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer the dough balls to a freezer bag. When you’re ready to bake, simply add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.
What if I don’t have white chocolate chips?
No worries! You can substitute with milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips, or even a mix of both. Each variation will give your cookies a unique and delicious twist.
