Giant M&M cookies


These cookies are gooey and perfect. Plus, mini M&M's just make everything cuter. 

They are so easy to make because you can use a whisk or spoon instead of a mixer.


Take a big scoop of dough, and divide it in half. Stack them together, and it makes a giant cookie. 



Giant M&M cookies
Makes 18 large or 36 small cookies
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 stick of salted butter, melted and cooled
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg plus 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup mini M&M's

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Mix the flour and baking soda in a bowl, and set it aside. Combine the butter and sugars in another bowl. Once combined and looking like the picture above, add the eggs and vanilla, and stir until mixed. Gradually add the flour and stir until combined. Fold in the M&M's.

2. Using a large ice cream scoop, divide the dough in half and stack them. Spread the dough about 2 inches apart, and bake for 12-15 minutes.
