Ingredients

• 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
• ⅔ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup packed brown sugar
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 ½ cups Easter M&M’s
• ½ cup chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. This ensures that your cookies bake evenly to perfection.
2. Combine the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, room temperature egg, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and chocolate chips. Mix the ingredients until you have a smooth and well-incorporated cookie dough.

1. Form Cookie Balls: Take the cookie dough and form 1 ½ inch-sized balls. Place these on a baking sheet, leaving enough space between each ball for the cookies to spread as they bake.

1. Add Easter M&M’s: Now, add a generous amount of Easter M&M’s to the top of each cookie ball. This not only adds a festive touch but also a burst of color and chocolatey goodness.
2. Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies turn a light golden color. Keep a close eye on them to avoid over-baking, as the perfect cookie is soft and chewy on the inside.
3. Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This step ensures that the cookies are set properly and have the ideal texture.
