M&M sugar cookies are an easy, soft-baked style cookie with chewy edges. Made with COLD butter and cream cheese and without brown sugar, they are sure to become a favorite. Perfect for birthdays and holidays!
Place flour, baking soda, baking powder and kosher salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times to blend. Add the COLD butter cubes and COLD cream cheese as well as the granulated and confectioners' sugars to the flour mixture.
Roll the dough into 1 ½ tablespoon balls. Place the cookies on the prepared baking pan and use the bottom of a glass to flatten the cookies, then add 4-5 mini M&M's to the top of each cookie.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until they look slightly under baked in the centers. The cookies will continue to cook and firm up as they sit on the baking pan.
