Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter softened
  • 60 g light brown sugar
  • 37 g granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 3/4 tsp vanilla
  • 85 g flour
  • 1/4 tsp fine salt
  • 1/4 tsp instant espresso powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 80 g chopped M&Ms candies

Equipment

  • Cookie Sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together. Beat very well, about 45 seconds.
  3. Add the egg yolk and vanilla and beat until combined.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients (except M&Ms) and add it in 2 batches to the creamed butter, beating just to combine.
  5. Stir in the chopped M&Ms. Make 12 dough balls (roll them in your hand), space them evenly on the cookie sheet and bake for 9-10 minutes.
  6. Remove from oven, and let cool for 1 minute on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

These cookies are a festive treat for Valentine's Day, but you can swap the M&Ms for any seasonal candies to enjoy them year-round.
