Description
Delicious chocolate chip cookies enhanced with crushed M&M’s and holiday sprinkles, perfect for festive occasions!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened but still cool)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup brown sugar (lightly packed (fresh and soft))
- 1 large egg
- ½ tablespoon Molina Mexican Vanilla Blend
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (I use Nestlé Toll House)
- Crushed M&M’s
- An additional ½ cup chocolate chips for extra chocolatey cookies
- Holiday sprinkles (I used Wilton “Under the Christmas Tree” Sprinkle Mix)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven 30 minutes before baking. A fully heated oven helps cookies rise properly and bake evenly.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, add butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer:
- Start on low speed.
- Gradually increase to high.
- Mix for about 2 minutes, until light and fluffy.
- Crack the egg into a small bowl and lightly break it up (no need to whisk).
- Add the egg and vanilla to the butter mixture.
- Mix on medium speed just until incorporated, about 30 seconds.
- Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients.
- Mix on low speed just until combined and no dry flour remains.
- Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop heaping scoops of dough. Lightly roll in your hands to smooth, then dip just the tops of the cookies into a bowl of holiday sprinkles.
- Place on prepared baking sheets, leaving space between cookies.
- Bake at 350°F for 8–12 minutes, depending on your oven.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
Notes
- TIP: I don’t add salt because I use salted butter. If you’re using unsalted butter, add ¼ teaspoon salt here.
- TIP: Butter should be softened but still cool. Butter that’s too warm will cause cookies to spread and bake flat.
- TIP: I prefer more cookie than chocolate, but feel free to add more chips or crushed M&M’s if that’s your thing.
