Christmas M and M Cookies

Growing up, my Aunt Cheryl always brought M and M cookies to our family Christmas gathering.  I found this recipe on Pinterest and have to give credit to Cooking Classy.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

2 tsp cornstarch

3/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

2 sticks, salted butter

1 cup light brown sugar

1/2 cup sugar

1 large egg

1 large egg yolk

2 tsp vanilla

11 oz bag red and green M and M's

Directions:

1.  Whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

2.  In a separate bowl, mix both sugars and butter with a blender for 3-4 minutes.

3.  Mix in egg and egg yolk.  Stir in vanilla.

4.  Mix in dry mixture slowly.

5.  Mix in M and M's just until combined.

6. Transfer 2 Tbsp scoops of dough to parchment lined baking sheet.  I use a melon baller for this.

7.  Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

I use a melon baller for this.

You can refrigerate dough for 3-5 days.
