Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter with both granulated and brown sugars. Beat on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add one large room-temperature egg and a splash of pure vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix this into the wet ingredients until combined.
  5. Gently fold in the M&M's candies, reserving a handful for topping if desired.
  6. Drop generous spoonfuls of dough onto the lined baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers remain soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
