**Cozy C Children’s Cookies**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 large eggs
– 2 cups M&M’s candies
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the cookies from sticking and ensure they bake evenly.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry ingredient mixture aside for later.
3. In a separate larger bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help create a smooth and uniform cookie dough.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this can result in tough cookies.
6. Gently fold in the M&M’s candies, reserving a handful to press into the tops of the cookies before baking for an extra pop of color.
7. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each dough ball as they will spread while baking.
8. Press a few additional M&M’s onto the tops of the cookie dough balls for a decorative touch that will make these treats even more irresistible.
9. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are just beginning to turn golden brown.
10. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
