1 cup granulated sugar ▢1 cup brown sugar ▢½ cup butter, just softened ▢½ cup vegetable oil ▢2 eggs ▢1 teaspoon baking powder ▢1 teaspoon salt ▢1 teaspoon baking soda ▢1 teaspoon vanilla extract ▢3 cups all-purpose flour ▢2 cups M&M's, (plain) chopped and whole, separated – with mini M&Ms too, if desired.
STEP-1
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a stand mixer, cream together granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, and oil.
STEP-2
Add eggs and beat until fluffy. Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and vanilla. Mix until combined.
STEP-3
Mix in chopped M&Ms (we chop about ½ cup M&Ms using a nut chopper).
STEP-4
Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop dough balls onto a lightly greased pan and insert 6-9 M&Ms (regular and plain) on top before baking.
STEP-5
Bake for 8-10 minutes. For picture-perfect cookies: Before the cookies cool, use a silicone spatula to gently press the circumference of the cookies into a perfect circle.
