These bakery style mini M&M cookies are such a classic treat. They are buttery, chewy, and so easy to make. Each bite yields the perfect amount of mini chocolate chips and colorful milk chocolate M&M's.
Melt the butter inside the microwave. Let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. Make sure the butter is not warm or else the cookies will spread too much when they bake in the oven.
Next, mix in the brown sugar, sugar, eggs and vanilla extract.
Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Use a rubber spatula to fold in the flour mixture. Then, add the mini chocolate chips and mini M&M's.
Use a 2 oz ice cream scoop to scoop the cookie dough. Place 5 cookies onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place baking sheet with cookies inside the freezer. Chill for 20 minutes until they feel solid and are completely cold. If you aren't in a hurry, place them inside the refrigerator for 1 hour or until ready to bake.
Preheat oven to 350°. Bake cookies for 13-15 minutes. The cookies will have golden edges and soft centers when they are done.
While the cookies are still warm, sprinkle extra mini M&M's and mini chocolate chips on top.
Let cookies cool for 15 minutes. Then, grab yourself a cup of milk and enjoy!
