Gooey M&M Cookies
These M&M Gooey Cookies are soft, ooey-gooey, and sweet with bursts of colorful mini M&M's and rich milk chocolate chips in every bite. The browned butter adds a warm, nutty flavor that makes these cookies absolutely irresistible.
Ingredients
- 12 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
- 2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup mini M&M's plus extra for topping
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips plus extra for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 1-2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, cook the butter, stirring constantly, until it turns a deep golden brown and smells nutty, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream the browned butter with both sugars for about 4 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the milk and vanilla bean paste.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the M&M's and milk chocolate chips.
- Scoop 3 tablespoons of cookie dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them apart. Press extra M&M's and chocolate chips on top for a decorative touch.
- Bake 6 cookies at a time for 12-13 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly soft and pale.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your gooey, chocolatey M&M cookies!
