Easter M&M Cookies
When you ask Ben and Aimery what their favorite dessert is, they will quickly answer cookies! Over the last year, Aimery and I have really enjoyed baking together, even if there’s a broken mixer along the way - oops! We made these Easter M&M cookies this afternoon and had a dance party, which is our definition of a perfect day. Sharing our recipe below, inspired by Joanna Gaines herself!
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups M&M’s
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
Mix sugar and butter in a stand mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla.
Add flour mixture to mixer until dough is formed. Add M&M’s to mix.
Drop dough onto baking sheet in large spoonfuls and bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Enjoy!
