Servings: 30

 

Ingredients:

3/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 cup salted butter, chilled and diced into cubes (about 1/2-inch)

2 tsp cornstarch

1 large egg

1 large egg yolk

2 1/4 - 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (for a thicker cookie use 2 1/2)

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 cup packed light-brown sugar

1 (11 oz) bag M&M's (I used mini)

1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp vanilla extract

Equipment:

mixing bowl

stand mixer

whisk

oven

baking sheet

wire rack

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a mixing bowl whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda and salt, set aside. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, blend together butter and sugar on low speed until it starts to come together then increase mixer to medium speed and whip until creamy, about 3 - 4 minutes. Mix in egg and egg yolk. Stir in vanilla. With mixer set on low speed, slowly add in dry ingredients and mix just until combine (batter will be thick due to the chilled butter). Mix in M&M's (I set aside about 1/4 cup of the M&M's to lightly press into the tops of cookies before baking so they show through more, totally optional). Scoop dough out 2 Tbsp at a time and shape into a ball, transfer to a Silpat lined or buttered cookie sheet - fitting 8 per sheet. Bake in preheated oven 10 - 12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool on baking sheet several minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container.

Food Trivia

Odor is by far the most important contributor to the flavor of food. The contributions of taste, texture, and appearance are insignificant by comparison. Humans can distinguish an estimated 20,000 different odor qualities.

Food Joke

A young man saw an elderly couple sitting down to lunch at Burger King. He noticed that they ordered one meal, and an extra drink cup. As he watched, the gentleman carefully divided the hamburger in half, then counted out the fries. One for him, one for her, until each had half of them. Then he poured half of the soft drink into the extra cup, and set it in front of his wife. The old man began to eat, and his wife sat watching, with her hands folded in her lap.The young man decided to ask if they would allow him to purchase another meal for them so that they didn`t have to split theirs.The old gentleman said, "Oh, no. We`ve been married 50 years, and everything has always been and will always be shared, 50/50."The young man than asked the wife if she was going to eat, and she replied, "Not yet. It`s his turn using the teeth."
