The Best m&m Cookies

I found this chocolate-chip cookie recipe on Lauren Conrad's website, and really wanted to try it out! I love cookies. I love chocolate-chip/sea-salt as a combo. It sounded perfect. 

I made a few alterations to her recipe (besides subbing in m&ms for chocolate chips because it's easter) which you can see below:

Here's What You'll Need:

• 2¼ cup flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp of sea salt
• 2 tsp ground coffee
• sprinkle of cardamom
• 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter
• 1¼ cup packed dark brown sugar
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg and 1 egg yolk
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup m&ms (or chocolate chips)

Here's What You'll Do:

1. Whisk dry ingredients together in a medium sized bowl.
2. Melt butter over medium heat. Transfer the butter to a bowl and set aside to cool for a few minutes.
3. Beat the butter and sugars until thoroughly blended. 
4. Beat in the egg, yolk, and vanilla until combined. 
5. Add the dry ingredients slowly and beat on low-speed just until combined. Stir in the m&ms.
6. Chill the dough for 1 hour.
7. Bake at 350 degrees, for 7 to 10 minutes.
