Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
Fold in M&M’S candies and chocolate chips if using.
Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overbake to maintain a soft center.
You can customize with seasonal M&M’S for a festive touch.
Chill the dough for 30 minutes to prevent spreading if baking in warm environments.
