Holiday Chocolate Chip and M&M Cookies (Print-Friendly Version)

Melted butter and an extra yolk form this chilled cookie dough with chocolate chips and colored candies. Let the melted butter lose its heat before mixing with eggs. Chilling helps the dough become scoopable, but the first tray still needs a spread check.

02 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
03 - 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

12 - 1/2 cup Christmas M&Ms

# How to Make It:

01 - Whisk flour, baking soda, cornstarch and salt together.
02 - Melt butter and let it cool until no longer hot. Whisk butter with brown and granulated sugars.
03 - Add the whole egg, extra yolk and vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients just until no flour streaks remain.
04 - Fold in chocolate chips and M&Ms.
05 - Cover and refrigerate at least thirty minutes, longer if still loose. Heat the oven to 350°F and line baking sheets.

07 - Cool on the tray five minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool completely before storing.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - No; this formula starts with melted butter whisked into sugars.
