American · Dessert · 25 min total

These soft and chewy sugar cookies are studded with colorful candy pieces, making them a festive treat perfect for holidays or parties.

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup candy-coated chocolate pieces (e.g., M&M's), plus extra for topping
• 1/2 cup chopped candy bars (e.g., Snickers or Milky Way)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
4. Add egg and vanilla; beat until combined.
5. Gradually add flour mixture, mixing on low until just combined.
6. Fold in candy-coated pieces and chopped candy bars.
7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Press a few extra candy pieces on top of each cookie.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Centers will look soft.
9. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Tips

• For softer cookies, chill dough for 30 minutes before baking.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
• Use a variety of candies for different colors and flavors.
