M&M Slice & Bake Cookies
These soft and chewy M&M Slice & Bake Cookies are the perfect easy cookie recipe for any occasion. Make the dough ahead, slice, and bake when the craving strikes.
Servings 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp table salt
- 1 cup butter- softened
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup M&M’s of choice + more for tops
Instructions
- Combine the flour, salt & baking powder into a bowl, mix and set aside.
- In a mixer bowl, cream together the softened butter & sugar.
- Once smooth, add the eggs & vanilla and beat well.
- Slowly stir in the dry ingredient mixture until fully incorporated, but don't over-mix.
- Fold in the M&M’s.
- Form the dough into a log and then wrap it tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours but overnight is best.
- Once chilled, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Slice the dough into rounds to your desired thickness. The thinner the blade used to slice them, the better. A thick blade will tend to squish the dough.
- Place the rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- I usually add a few more whole M&M”s to the tops of the cookies at this time.
- Bake in the center of a preheated oven at 350 degrees for approximately 8-10 minutes.
