Ingredients

1 cup M&M's
3/4 cup unsalted butter softened, (1 1/2 sticks)
3/4 cup brown sugar firmly packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF (177ºC).
Chop 1/2 cup of M&Ms coarsely and set aside.
In a large bowl, using a hand-held electric mixer, cream together butter (3/4 cup) and both sugars (3/4 cup brown sugar + 1/4 cup granulated sugar). Mix in egg (1) and vanilla (2 teaspoons).
Add flour (2 cups), cornstarch (2 teaspoons), baking soda (1 teaspoon), and salt (1/2 teaspoon), and mix until just combined. Stir in chopped M&Ms.
Use a cookie scoop (1 tablespoon size ) to form dough into balls and space evenly on a greased or Silpat lined cookie sheet. Press 4-5 M&M's into the face of each dough ball. Bake for 8-10 minutes or just until the edges start to brown.

Notes

These cookies will be baked when the center just loses that wet look and the edges begin to brown.
