Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
-
Add dry ingredients to the wet and mix until just combined.
-
Stir in the ⅓ cup milk until the dough comes together.
-
Fold in the red and blue peanut butter M&M’s.
-
Scoop dough (about 1½ Tbsp) onto the baking sheet. Press about 3 M&M’s on top of each cookie and flatten slightly with your hand.
-
Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and, if desired, use a round cookie cutter or mason jar top to turn each cookie into a uniform circle. (Optional but helps them look bakery-perfect.)
-
Return to the oven for 2 minutes more.
-
Let cool for 5 minutes on the pan, then transfer to a cooling rack.
