M & M Cookies

·         1 1/2 cups of flour

·         1/2 cup of whole wheat flour

·         1/2 teaspoon baking soda

·         1/2 teaspoon salt

·         3/4 cup butter, melted

·         1 cup packed brown sugar

·         1/2 cup white sugar

·         1 egg

·         1 egg yolk

·         2 tsp vanilla extract

·         2 cups of m & m's, divided

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silpat mat.

Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl then set aside. Beat together the melted butter, brown sugar, white sugar, egg, egg yolk and vanilla with a mixer until creamy.  Gradually add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture until just mixed. Stir in most the m & m's by hand. Drop by the spoonful onto a greased or lined baking sheet.  Push more m & m's into the top of each cookie.

Bake for 14-17 minutes or until the edges look golden brown. Cool on the baking sheet for at least 4-5 minutes (so cookies can set) before moving to a rack. Enjoy.
