Ingredients for M&M Christmas Cookies<\/h2>\n
If you already know and love these best-ever chocolate chip cookies, you will love this holiday M&M version. <\/p>\n
\n
Butter: <\/strong>I always use salted butter, which is controversial, but that\u2019s how I\u2019ve rolled for decades. If using unsalted butter, increase the salt by 1\/2 teaspoon.<\/li>\n
Brown sugar: <\/strong>Packed light OR dark brown sugar will work in this cookie recipe. <\/li>\n
Granulated sugar:<\/strong> Equal parts granulated sugar and brown sugar are used in the recipe for the perfect balance of sweetness and chewiness. <\/li>\n
Baking soda + baking powder + salt: <\/strong>I add all of these ingredients with the butter and sugar. This allows the flour to be added by itself easily in one of the last steps.<\/li>\n
Eggs:<\/strong> Use cold eggs from the refrigerator, if possible. This helps the cookies not spread in the oven.<\/li>\n
Flour: <\/strong>I use unbleached all-purpose flour; bleached all-purpose flour can be used with fine results. <\/li>\n
M&Ms: <\/strong>Regular or mini M&Ms can be used, as well as varying flavors, like milk chocolate or dark chocolate. <\/li>\n
Chocolate Chips:<\/strong> Semisweet or milk chocolate chips can be used (it pains me to say that out loud, because if I\u2019m being honest, semisweet chocolate chips are the only acceptable choice).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
