Easter Cookies

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter
  
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
  
• 1/4 cup white sugar
  
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  
• 1 large egg
  
• 1 2/3 cup flour
  
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
  
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  
• 1/2 cup pastel M&M candies
  

Directions


[*]Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
[*]Add butter to a microwave dish and microwave in 20 second increments until butter is fully melted.
[*]Add the brown sugar and white sugar to a large mixing bowl with the melted butter and stir well to combine.
[*]Beat in the vanilla and egg until just combined.
[*]Pour in the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix until just combined.
[*]Stir in the chocolate chips and candies by hand, reserving a few to press onto the tops of the cookie dough, if desired.
[*]Use a large cookie scoop to scoop out 12 cookies and arrange them evenly on a large ungreased baking sheet. 
[*]Bake for 10 minutes exactly. Cookies will still be slightly underdone when you remove them from the oven. Do not overbake. 
[*]Let sit on baking sheet for 5 minutes before eating. Allow cookies to cool completely before storing in an air-tight container for up to 5 days.
