Spring M&M Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 cups chocolate chips I like to mix chunks plus more for garnishing
  • 1/2 cup pastel M&Ms plus more for garnishing

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cream butter and sugars
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 1–2 minutes.
  • Add eggs and vanilla. Mix in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  • Add dry ingredients. Add the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Fold in chocolate. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold in the chocolate chips and M&Ms.
  • Scoop the dough. Scoop 2–3 tablespoons of dough per cookie and place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  • Bake for 9–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look slightly soft.
  • Right after the cookies come out of the oven, they may look slightly uneven or puffy. While they are still warm, place a large round cookie cutter or drinking glass over the cookie and gently swirl it in a circular motion.
  • When the cookies are still warm, press one whole pastel M&M into the center of the cookie. Take another M&M and carefully cut it in half to create the bunny ears. Place the two halves above the whole M&M to form the ears.
