1. Prep & Preheat
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Make the Cookie Dough
Cream butter + sugars until fluffy (~2 mins).
Mix in egg + vanilla.
Whisk flour, baking soda, salt (and cornstarch if using), then gradually add to wet ingredients.
Fold in chocolate chips and M&M's (save some for topping!).
3. Bake to Perfection
Scoop 1.5-tbsp dough balls onto baking sheets (2 inches apart).
Press extra M&M's and sprinkles on top for a festive look.
Bake for 9-11 mins (edges should be golden but centers soft).
Let cool 5 mins on the pan (they’ll firm up).
Pro Tips for the Best Easter Cookies 🔥
✔ Don’t overbake – They’ll look underdone but set as they cool.
✔ Use room-temperature butter & egg – For smoother dough.
✔ Make them thicker – Chill dough 30 mins before baking.
✔ Storage: Keep in an airtight container for 5 days (or freeze dough balls for later!).
