Ingredients

  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter room temperature
  • ¼ cup (100 g) sugar
  • ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp (4 g) vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp (2 g) baking soda
  • ½ tsp (2 g) salt
  • 1 ½ cups (200 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (80 g) chocolate chips
  • 2 10-oz bags mini M&Ms

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

  • In a separate, large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.

  • Scoop the cookie dough into balls, each containing about 2 tbsp of dough. Press and roll each ball into the mini M&Ms to form a crust.
  • Place the mini M&M crusted dough balls onto the baking sheet, about 2 inches apart, and flatten them slightly.
