Halloween M&M Cookies
Chewy and chocolatey Halloween M&M cookies will be everyone's favorite fall treat.
Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup Halloween colored M&Ms
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Whisk to combine.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract and whisk until well combined.
- Next, add the flour and baking soda and stir just until no large lumps of flour remain.
- Add the M&Ms and mix just until they’re combined - you don’t want to overmix!
- Cover the bowl and transfer the cookie dough to the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.
- While the cookie dough chills, preheat your oven to 350°F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat mats.
- Once the dough has chilled, scoop two-tablespoon sized cookies onto the baking sheets, making sure they’re at least 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow them to cool fully before removing them from the tray - they will set as they cool.
- Transfer the cooled cookies to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to three days.
Notes
Tips
- Melt the butter. This makes the dough soft enough to stir by hand. It also helps to dissolve the sugar and create a chewy texture.
- Press a few extra M&Ms on top of the cookies right before baking.
- Let the cookies cool on the pan. This allows them to finish baking, and helps make the perfect shape and consistency.
