M&M Cookies

I'm on a quest for the perfect M&M cookies. So far this recipe is the winner! With the same ingredients you can make the cookie how you like them. In one picture I mixed the M&M's right into the dough and made them just like chocolate chip cookies. In the other picture I made small balls of dough and placed M&M's on the top of the balls and baked the cookies. Up to you, both are delicious! -Sarah

1 1/2 sticks butter
1 cup brown sugar (not packed)
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 t. vanilla
2 cups flour
1/2 t. baking soda
1/4 t. salt

• Cream butter, add sugars and beat until well mixed. Add egg, egg yolk and vanilla.
• In a separate bowl mix flour with baking soda and salt. Add to creamed mixture
  If stirring M&M's into dough use about 1 1/2 cups. If pressing them into balls make sure to flatten the ball lightly to press M&M's into dough and help them bake more evenly.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
