Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mint M&Ms
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually add dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in mint M&Ms and crushed Oreo cookies using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Make sure your butter is truly softened but not melted - this ensures the perfect cookie texture.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and maintain a thick, chewy cookie.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform size and even baking.
- Don't overbake! Remove cookies when edges are golden but centers still look slightly underdone.
- Let cookies cool completely on the wire rack to develop the best texture.
- For extra indulgence, sprinkle a few extra M&Ms and Oreo pieces on top of each cookie before baking.
- Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep cookies soft and fresh.
