Ingredients
Measurements:
1⅔ cups (8¾ oz) all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp kosher salt
6 oz unsalted butter
chopped, at room temperature
¾ cup (5¼ oz) light brown sugar
½ cup (3½ oz) granulated sugar
1 large egg
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 cup (8 oz) mini M&M's
Instructions
1Place the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
2Place the butter and both sugars in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the paddle attachment, beat on high speed for 3 minutes, or until pale and creamy, scraping down the bowl occasionally. With the mixer on, add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined.
3Reduce the speed to low, gradually add the flour mixture and mix until just combined, scraping down the bowl occasionally. Add the M&M's and mix until evenly dispersed. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 5 days.
4Insert the wire rack into position 6. Set the oven to Cookies, Convection, 330°F, for 10 minutes, enable Rotate Remind and press Start to preheat. Grease and line 2 jelly roll pans with parchment paper. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
5Using a 2 tablespoon (1 oz) cookie scoop, divide the dough evenly into 24 portions. Roll 8 portions into a ball and place in the prepared pan evenly spaced apart.
Tip: Dough balls can be frozen for up to 1 month.
6Once preheated, place the pan in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. When the Rotate Remind signals, rotate the pan. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
7While the first batch cooks, roll the remaining dough into balls and refrigerate until ready to bake.
8The cookies should be golden brown, crisp around the edges, and soft in the center. If not, bake them a little longer.
Tip: If you like your cookies crispier, cook for an additional 2 minutes.
9Cool the cookies for a few minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack.
Press Start to turn on the oven. Place another 8 balls in the prepared pan. When the oven signals that it has preheated, place the second batch in the oven and repeat with the remaining cookie dough.
10Enjoy them warm for melty M&M's and a gooey center, or let them cool for a perfectly chewy bite with a hint of crunch. However you serve them, these cookies are guaranteed to disappear fast! If you manage to have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
