Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup MM candies
Instructions
- Heat-treat the flour to eliminate any potential bacteria. Spread flour on a microwave-safe plate and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the flour reaches 165°F (74°C). Allow flour to cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer. Mix for approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Add vanilla extract and salt to the butter-sugar mixture, blending until fully incorporated.
- Gradually fold in the cooled, heat-treated flour, mixing until a smooth dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in MM candies, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Transfer the cookie dough to an airtight container or cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and dough to firm slightly.
- Serve chilled, scooping directly from the container. Can be stored in refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Heat-Treat the Flour: To ensure your cookie dough is safe to eat, don’t skip the step of heat-treating the flour. This process eliminates any potential bacteria, making your treat worry-free!
- Use Room Temperature Butter: For the best texture, make sure your unsalted butter is softened to room temperature before mixing. This helps create a light and fluffy dough.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the heat-treated flour with the butter-sugar mixture, mix just until a smooth dough forms. Overmixing can lead to a dense texture.
- Chill for Better Flavor: Allowing the cookie dough to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes enhances the flavors and gives the dough a firmer consistency, making it easier to scoop.
- Customize Your Add-ins: Feel free to switch up the MM candies with your favorite mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or even dried fruit for a unique twist on this classic recipe!
