Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (165g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (270g) team-colored M&Ms

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed or folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Gently fold in the team-colored M&Ms, reserving a handful to press onto the tops of the cookies before baking.
  7. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop even-sized mounds about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Press a few extra M&Ms on top of each mound.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers still look slightly soft.
  10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chilling the dough is essential to prevent spreading and improve chewiness. Pressing M&Ms on top before baking enhances appearance. Use softened butter, not melted, for best texture. Avoid overmixing after adding flour. Store cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to maintain softness.
