Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 3/4 cups flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp corn starch
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup mini M&Ms or chocolate chips
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
  • 3-4 Tbsp milk
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter and sugars. Add vanilla and egg, mix until incorporated.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, sift flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Mix in dry ingredients, one cup at a time, until smooth.
  • Add M&M’s or chocolate chips, gently fold in.
  • Place cookies on sheet using a standard scoop. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are golden brown. (Since I made giant cookies I used 2 scoops of dough, patted them together, put 6 on a sheet, flattened them, and baked them for 14 minutes).
  • Remove from oven and let cool on sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • While cookies are cooling, prepare frosting by beating together butter, milk, salt and extracts until light and fluffy. With mixing speed on low, slowly add the powdered sugar. Beat for 2-3 minutes. Pipe (or spread) onto cookies & sandwich.
