Chewy M&M Christmas Cookies
Red & green M&M's, two types of chocolate, and a secret ingredient make these the best M&M Christmas cookies!
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened to room temperature
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 ½ cups brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon juice fresh or bottled
- 3 ¼ cups all purpose flour 15 ounces
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¾ tsp salt
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1 10 oz bag Christmas M&M's divided
Instructions
- Let your butter come to room temperature. Spray cookie sheets with cooking spray, or line with silicone liners. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Cream butter and sugars for 2-3 minutes in a large mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer. Beat in eggs, vanilla, and lemon juice just until combined.
- Add flour, make a well in the flour. Add baking soda, baking powder, and sat to the well, stir into the flour just a bit.
- Add the chocolate chips, half of the M&M's, stir just until all the flour is incorporated.
- Use a cookie scoop to scoop dough, then roll into balls. Place on lightly greased or silpat lined cookie sheets. Press a few of the reserved M&M's into the tops of the cookie dough balls.
- Bake at 375° for about 8-9 minutes or until edges are light brown and centers are barely set.
- Cool on pans for 3-4 minutes, then remove to cooling racks.
Notes
If your dough seems sticky, chill it for 20-30 minutes before rolling your dough balls. If it's to soft, your cookies will spread too much.
