If you love chocolate chip cookies, you will absolutely love this festive touch. I used Christmas m and m's which are red and green to get into the Holiday Spirit.

- ⅓ cup white sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar

- pinch of salt
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour , 226 grams

- ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. You are more than welcome to use a handheld mixer or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment.
- In your stand mixer cream the butter and the sugars together until nice and smooth.
- Add the egg and pure vanilla extract, mix for about a minute again on medium-low speed.
- Gradually begin to add the flour, baking soda, pinch of salt, and mix on medium low speed until a tacky dough forms.
- Mix or fold in the m&m’s and take a spoon or an ice-cream scoop and scoop out 24 small cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You can also make 12 large cookies as well but the baking time may increase.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden. Enjoy and don’t forget to share this recipe with your love ones.

Notes
You are more than welcome to try making these gluten-free by using one to one gluten-free baking all-purpose flour instead.
Vegan butter will work if you don’t want to use regular butter.
Feel free to use any fillings such as walnuts, chocolate chips, white chocolate, or anything else instead if you don’t have M&Ms
