Ingredients
 

  • 1 ½ cup unsalted butter (3 sticks, softened)
  • 1 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 ¼ cup (Christmas M&M’s divided (3/4 cup in ½ on top))

Instructions
 

  • 1.  In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter, brown, and granulated sugar together on medium speed, beating until light and fluffy about 2-3 minutes. Add in eggs and vanilla and mix until incorporated on low speed. Turn the mixer up to medium-high and mix for 1 minute.
  • 2.  Scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed. Add the cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix for 30 seconds then slowly add the flour. Mix until fully incorporated.
  • 3.  Add the chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and 3/4 cup M&M's, and either beat for a few seconds on low speed or fold in by hand.
  • 4.  Drop 2 tablespoons of the dough or roll it into balls onto a lined baking sheet. Top with more chocolate chips & M&M's if desired. Cover with plastic wrap and chill the dough for at least 1 hour or longer in the refrigerator. (Overnight or a couple of days works too.) Or chill for 20-25 minutes in the freezer.
  • 5.  When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 F. Spread cookie dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are just golden. Make sure not to overbake, the cookies will set up as they cool.
  • 6.  Remove from oven, let cool on baking sheet for 5-10 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. (Store in an airtight container.)

Notes

-If you want bigger cookies, scoop out 1/4 cup of dough into balls, and bake
for about 14 minutes. (After chilling dough balls for at least 1-2 hours.)
