  • Add eggs and vanilla extract. Continue mixing to combine.
  • Add in flour, baking soda and salt. Dough should be thick and mixed together with no flour streaks

  • Using ice cream or large cookie scoop, (¼ cup or 4 tablespoons worth) and scoop dough and place at least 2 inches apart on lined pan. Add any extra m&m's, chocolate chips and sprinkles to tops if desired at this time or immediately after you bake cookies.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes or until cookie edges are lightly golden and the middles are set. Do not over bake these cookies. Cookies will firm up slightly while cooking.
