Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup Chocolate Grow Daily 3+
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup M&M's
Instructions:
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the Wet Ingredients: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Combine the Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, Chocolate Grow Daily 3+, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the Fun: Gently mix in the chocolate chips and M&M's for a pop of holiday color and flavor.
- Scoop & Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each one. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Cool & Decorate: Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. If you’d like, sprinkle a few extra festive decorations on top while the cookies are still warm for a little extra magic.
