    • 1 teaspoon baking powder

    • ½ teaspoon baking soda

    • ¼ teaspoon salt

    • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened but still cool

    • ½ cup granulated sugar

    • ⅓ cup packed light brown sugar

    • 1 large egg, cold

    • ¾ cup Easter/spring M&M’s, plus extra for topping (optional)

    • ½ cup white chocolate chips or chunks, plus extra for topping (optional)

    • ¼ cup pastel sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat and Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Add Mix-Ins: Gently stir in the M&M’s and white chocolate chips. Place the sprinkles in a shallow bowl.
  • Scoop and Coat: Scoop balls of cookie dough (1 ½ to 2 ½ tablespoons each) and press the tops into the sprinkles.
  • Bake: Place dough balls on prepared baking sheets, leaving space for spreading. Bake for 8-11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly soft.

 

  • Cool and Decorate: Let cookies cool completely on baking sheets. If desired, press extra M&M’s and/or chocolate chips onto the warm cookies.
