Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (165 g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups (315 g) all-purpose flour (or 1:1 gluten-free blend)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (255 g) M&Ms, regular or mini
  • 1/2 cup (90 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks (for drizzle)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup softened unsalted butter with 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 3/4 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Mix in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  6. Fold in about 1 1/2 cups of M&Ms, reserving a handful to scatter on top.
  7. Grease a 9-inch pan or line it with parchment paper. Press the cookie dough evenly into the pan and smooth the top. Scatter the reserved M&Ms on top.
  8. Bake for 22-26 minutes until edges are golden brown and crisp but the center looks slightly underbaked.
  9. Let the cookie pizza cool in the pan for about 15 minutes.
  10. Melt 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips in short bursts in the microwave or over a double boiler. Drizzle melted chocolate over the cookie pizza.
  11. Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Do not overmix the dough to avoid toughness. Pull the cookie out when edges are golden but center is slightly underbaked for perfect chewiness. Melt chocolate slowly and stir often to avoid burning. Let cookie cool 15 minutes before slicing to prevent crumbling. Tent with foil if edges brown too fast.
