# What You Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients
04 - 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
05 - 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
06 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
07 - 2 large eggs
08 - 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
→ Add-ins
09 - 1 cup chocolate M&M candies, Easter colors preferred
10 - 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, optional
→ Decoration
11 - Extra M&M candies for topping
12 - Bunny-shaped marshmallows or edible eyes, optional
# How To Cook:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well blended. Set aside for later use.
03 - In a large bowl, beat softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until mixture appears light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
04 - Beat in eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in vanilla extract until combined.
05 - Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until flour streaks disappear. Avoid overmixing to prevent tough cookies.
06 - Gently fold M&M candies and white chocolate chips into the dough using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout.
07 - Using a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Press extra M&M candies and optional bunny decorations onto the tops.
08 - Bake for 9-11 minutes until edges appear set while centers remain slightly soft and underbaked for optimal chewiness.
09 - Let cookies rest on baking sheets for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- These cookies stay incredibly soft for days thanks to the perfect ratio of butter to sugar
- The colorful candies make them instantly festive no matter your decorating skills
02 -
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes prevents excessive spreading and creates thicker, chewier cookies
- The centers will look underdone when you pull them out, but they continue cooking on the hot baking sheet
03 -
- Rotate your baking sheets halfway through for evenly baked cookies
- Room temperature ingredients make a noticeable difference in texture
