M & M CANDY COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt until well-combined.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, cream cheese, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until smoothly combined, wiping down the bowl and beater as needed. Add the whole egg and egg yolk one at a time, beating each in until incorporated. Mix in the vanilla extract until incorporated.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix in on lowest speed just until partially combined, with the dough not yet even in texture. Add the M&M's and chopped chocolate and fold in with a flexible rubber spatula just until evenly dispersed into the dough, with no more streaks of dry ingredients still visible.
• Transfer the dough to an airtight container and chill for at least 4 hours before baking (the cookie dough will keep in the refrigerator for at least one week).
• To bake, preheat oven to 350ºF with an oven rack in the center position. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Scoop the cookie dough by 2 1/4 ounce (about 1/4 cup) portions and roll into balls. Roll each ball between the palms of your hand to elongate into a tall cylinder-like mound, flattening the base to rest firmly on the lined baking tray. Space the mounds of cookie dough apart on the tray, with no more than 6 - 9 cookies on the tray at once. Press a few extra M&M's and pieces of chopped chocolate into the tops and sides of the cookies.
• Bake cookies in the preheated oven for 11-13 minutes, or just until the cookies are puffed up and the tops no longer appear wet, rotating the tray halfway through the baking time. Don't overbake! Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

M&M'S COOKIE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Butter a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper; butter the paper. Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Roughly chop 1 cup of the M&M'S.
• Beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Add the flour mixture and beat until just combined. Add the chopped M&M'S and chocolate chips and stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. Scrape the dough evenly into the pan and smooth the top.
• Transfer to the oven and bake 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and press the remaining 1/4 cup whole M&M'S into the top, evenly spacing them out. Return to the oven and bake until golden, 12 to 14 more minutes. Let cool 20 minutes in the pan, then remove the springform ring and let cool completely. Transfer the cookie to a rack set over a baking sheet.
• Make the glaze: Whisk the confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons milk in a small bowl; thin with 1 more tablespoon milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the glaze has a glue-like consistency. Drizzle over the cookie and let set before slicing.

CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE M&M COOKIES

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla and salt in large bowl until creamy. Add eggs; beat well.
• Stir together flour, cocoa and baking soda; gradually add to butter mixture, beating until well blended. Mix in chocolate chips and M&M's alternately. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet.

CHRISTMAS M&M'S COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in M&M's., Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 9-11 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.

M&M COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees and line 2 large sheet pans with parchment.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the butter, sugars, egg, vanilla and salt by hand until smooth and fluffy, at least 1 minute. Whisk in the baking soda, then switch to a rubber spatula. Add the flour, then carefully and coarsely chop the M&M's, and add them, too. Gently stir to combine. Place the bowl in the refrigerator while you wait for the oven to finish heating.
• Using two spoons or a cookie scoop, plop out 2-tablespoon/50-gram rounds spaced a couple of inches apart on the sheet pans. (You should get about 8 cookies per pan.) Bake until lightly golden at the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool completely on the sheet pan; they will continue to cook as they sit.
