Chocolate Chip and M&M Cookies are packed with chocolate chips and colorful candies for a cookie that delivers on flavor and texture. I've tested and perfected this recipe to ensure soft and chewy cookies every time, making it a foolproof choice when you want bakery-quality results at home.
Preheat oven to 350°F and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This will take 2-3 minutes.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each egg.
Beat in vanilla extract.
Add the baking soda, baking powder, salt and flour. Mix on low just until its all combined.
Stir in the mini chocolate chips and candies.
Using a medium scoop or 2 rounded tablespoons, place cookie dough scoops 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, just until the edges are starting to brown.
Let cookies cool on pan for 5 minutes and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
