Ingredients

The following ingredients have 15 Servings
  • 1/2 c unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3/4 c packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 c granulated sugar
  • 2 c all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp pink sprinkles (optional)
  • 1 c M&M's (I used Dark Chocolate Valentine's Day edition)

Instruction

  • In a large mixing bowl, whip butter for 20 seconds until creamy.
  • Add both sugars and whip until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes.
  • In another mixing bowl, whisk together flour, soda, salt and cornstarch.
  • Add the egg and vanilla to the butter-sugar mixture.
  • Mix well.
  • Add the dry ingredients all at once and mix on low just until incorporated.
  • Stir in the sprinkles and M&M's (reserving about 1/4 c of M&M's for placing on top of baked cookies).
  • Cover the dough with a plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
  • When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Scoop the cookie dough with a 1,5 Tbsp cookie scoop. Place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake 9 to 11 minutes. (The magic number for me was 10 minutes)
  • While the cookies are still hot, place few M&M's on top of each, gently pressing down.
  • Cool cookies completely.
  • Store in an air tight container for up to 1 week.
