M&M Sugar Cookies

Sometimes you just want something a little more colorful then your average sugar cookie. These crunchy sugar cookies were made with M&M minis. Regular M&Ms would work just fine, but the minis are SO much cuter! 

 

M&M Sugar Cookies

130 g butter (2 sticks)

337 g sugar (1 1/2 cups)

2 eggs

280 g all purpose flour ( 2 1/4 cups)

25 g cornstarch (3 TBL)

200 g M&M minis (1 cup)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, add eggs one by one until emulsified. Add vanilla extract. 

Add flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined. Mix in M&M minis by hand, being careful not to overwork the dough.

Spoon cookie dough (about 1 tbl size each) onto a parchment lined cookie sheet, giving them a few inches apart (they will spread when baking). 

Bake 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges.
