Ingredients

The following ingredients have 36 Servings
  • 1/2 cup butter (at room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese (at room temperature (I only use the block kind not the kind in a tub.))
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 and ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 and ¼ cup s M&M candies (You can substitute chocolate chips for the M&Ms)

Instruction

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter and cream cheese together until smooth and there are no lumps.
  • Add sugars and beat until light and fluffy.
  • Add egg and vanilla and beat on medium speed until well combined stopping to scrape sides occasionally.
  • In another bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add dry ingredients slowly into mixer and cream until combined.
  • Stir in M&Ms or Chocolate Chips by hand until they are evenly distributed.
  • Place in refrigerator at least 30 minutes. If you don't refrigerate them, you won't have a thick cookie, chewy cookie.
  • Scoop chilled dough onto a cookie sheet using a ice cream or cookie scoop.
  • Bake in a 350° oven 8 to 10 minutes so soft cookies. Cookies will set more as they cool. Cool 2 minutes on cookie sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
  • If you want more crisp cookies, bake them 2 to 3 minutes longer.
