Chilled M&M Drop Cookies

Soft, thick cookies studded with colorful M&Ms. Butter and sugars creamed until fluffy create a tender crumb. Egg and vanilla bind the mix. Flour, baking soda, and salt sifted then folded in barely to keep dough tender. Dough chills solidify fats for minimal spread. Rolled into balls roughly 2 inches, spaced wide to allow expansion. Bake till edges set, centers still look soft, about 12-14 minutes. Cooled on sheet first to firm up. Add semi-sweet chocolate pieces in place of brown sugar and swap vanilla extract for almond essence. A pinch of cinnamon wakes up the sweetness. Watch for glossy cracks on top- that’s your doneness signal.
