Salty Monsters

  • Author: Kelly Cahoon

Description

Every single time I make these cookies I get asked for the recipe. I always make them in my Traeger for that added kiss of smoke, but you could make them in your oven too! The goal with these was to see how many mini m&ms I could pack into one cookie. I think I crushed it!


Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ C room temp butter 
  • 1 ½ C brown sugar 
  • ½ C granulated sugar 
  • 2 room temp eggs 
  • 2 T cornstarch 
  • 2 t baking soda 
  • 1 t salt
  • 4 cups flour 
  • 1.5 (10 oz) bags mini m&ms (plus more for topping)
  • 1/2 (16oz) bag milk chocolate chips 
  • 2T flake Salt

Instructions

  1. Cream the butter and sugar. Add eggs and mix until light and fluffy. Combine all dry ingredients and add slowly to butter mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and mms. Refrigerate dough overnight or at least 1 hour. 
  2. Preheat the oven (or Grill) to 350F. Spoon dough into golf ball sized balls. Roll tops in salt and press 3-4 additional m&ms into the top and sides of each cookie. Flatten slightly and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for 9 minutes. Let cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes, serve with milk.
