Nothing says Easter like pretty pastels and nothing says GIMME like perfect, bakery style, chocolate chip cookies. We're talking soft, thick, chewy, ooey, gooey perfection.
INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup unsalted butter room temperature
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg room temperature
1 tbsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup M&Ms plus more to top the cookie if desired
INSTRUCTIONS
Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Cream butter and sugars together in a large mixing bowl. Beat in the egg and vanilla until thoroughly combined.
Whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.
Gradually add flour mixture to wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Fold in chocolate chips and M&Ms.
Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and roll into balls. Using a cookie scoop helps to keep the cookies a uniform size.
Place cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet and repeat until all dough has been used.
Cover the cookie dough balls with plastic wrap and freeze for at least an hour and up to overnight. If you freeze overnight, let cookie dough balls sit at room temperature for 10 minute before baking. (You can also transfer to a ziploc bag and bake as needed.)
Preheat oven to 350F.
Place cookie dough balls on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Cookies will appear slightly under-baked. Gently press additional candies and chocolate chips into the top of the cookies if desired.
Let cookies cool for several minutes on baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack.
Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
