Ingredients

2 cups of all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
12 tablespoons of butter softened
1/2 cup of granulated white sugar
3/4 cup of firmly packed golden brown sugar
1 teaspoon of kosher salt
1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
3/4 cup of milk chocolate chips
3/4 cup of white chocolate chips
1/2 cup of Mini Christmas M&M's Baking Bits plus more for topping cookie dough before baking

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda.
In the bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment, combine butter, both sugars, vanilla and salt. Beat on medium speed until well combined, about 2 minutes.
Add egg and egg yolk, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary.
Add in flour mixture and continue mixing just until incorporated.
Add in chocolate chips and M&M's and give a final stir. For best results, chill dough for 30 minutes before baking.
Measure cookie dough balls with a medium cookie sized cookie scoop.
Place cookie dough on baking sheet and top with additional mini M&M's.
Bake 8-10 minutes, just until edges are a light golden brown.
Don't over bake as cookie will continue baking as it cools.
