M&M COOKIE BITES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees (F). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
• In a medium-sized bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, and sea salt; set aside.
• Place one stick of butter in a small sauce pan over medium-high heat and cook for about 3 minutes - stirring almost constantly - or until the butter has browned. Remove from heat and stir in remaining stick of butter; whisk until completely smooth. Pour the hot butter into a heat proof bowl, then place the bowl in the refrigerator or freezer and bring the butter back to room temperature. *You'll know the butter is at room temperature when you press a finger into the top and it makes a slight indentation.
• Once the butter is at room temperature...
• Add the sugars and the vanilla to the browned butter and beat on medium-speed until light and fluffy; about 2 minutes (you may use a stand mixer/ handheld mixer to help if you have one). Add the eggs and beat quickly - for only about 30 seconds - until they're just combined; scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes, then beat the eggs for another 30-45 seconds. Gently fold in the flour mixture with a wooden spoon, stirring only until the flour begins to disappear. Fold in the m&m minis.
• Roll scant tablespoon sized balls of dough between your palms to form a ball, then place on prepared sheet (make sure to leave a little bit of room in between each cookie for inevitable spreading). Continue this process until all the dough has been rolled. Place baking sheets, one at a time, in preheated oven and bake for 7-8 minutes, or until golden at the edges but still soft in the middle. Let cookies cool for 15 minutes on the sheet before transferring to a wire wrack to cool completely.

THE BEST M&M COOKIES

Steps:

• Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl.
• Beat the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time until smooth, then beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low. Add the flour mixture and beat until combined. Reserve 1/4 cup of the chocolates, then stir in the remaining 1 3/4 cups of chocolates by hand. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the dough and refrigerate until chilled through, about 1 hour.
• Arrange the racks in the upper and lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Roll the dough into 24 balls, each about 3 tablespoons (alternatively, use a #20 large cookie scoop). Place 6 dough balls on each of the prepared baking sheets; stud the top of each dough ball with some of the reserved chocolates. Bake 2 trays at a time until the cookies are golden around the edges but still soft in the middle, rotating the trays halfway through, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool 10 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough and chocolates.

SOFT M&M COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• Using an electric mixer, cream your butter and shortening for about 2 minutes, until pale.
• Add sugars and mix until well combined.
• Add your eggs, vanilla and milk & mix.
• Whisk together flour, pudding mix, baking soda and salt.
• Pour into butter mixture and mix until flour is completely incorporated.
• Stir in mini chocolate chips and half the bag of mini M&M's. (Place the other half of the M&M's in a small bowl.
• Scoop dough level using a medium cookie scoop. Press the ball of dough into the bowl of mini M&M's, so that candies coat the top part of the cookie dough ball.
• Place balls about 1.5-2" inches apart on the baking sheet.
• Bake for 11-12 minutes until cookies just barely begin to lightly brown on the sides. Let cool on cookie sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.
