Notes
Pro Tips:
Room Temperature Ingredients. It's best to use Room Temperature Softened Butter and EggMeasuring Ingredients. Always properly measure ingredients for the best most consistent results. A kitchen scale is preferred. Or use the Stir, Scoop and Level method.Baking Time. Cookies are done when edges of cookies are set and center of cookie dough is no longer glossy. Do not over bake cookies. Cookies continue to bake on hot cookie sheet when out of the oven.Extra Candy and Chocolate Pieces. Press extra M&M candies onto cookie dough before baking. Chocolate Chips can be added and stirred into cookie dough for an added treat (optional).Cookie Scoop. I like to use a medium cookie scoop or use a large cookie scoop for Giant M&M Cookies. Cookies bake evenly when all scooped in the same size.Mound Cookie Dough. Mound Cookie Dough helps prevent spreading while being baked which results in a more moist soft and chewy M&M sugar cookies.
