Cookies. Snack Mix Cookies, to be precise. Have y'all seen the huge bags of m&m's snack mix? I'm in love. The milk chocolate version is full of m&m candies, mini pretzels, tiny little chocolate chip cookies, and peanuts. The peanut version is full of peanut m&m candies, shortbread cookies, pretzels, and almonds. Both are fabulous, but the milk chocolate bag is my true soul mate.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Beat in the vanilla.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet, beating well to combine.
With the mixer on low, pour in the m&m's snack mix and continue mixing until the mix is dispersed throughout the dough. Stop the mixer and scrape down the bowl as needed.
Use a cookie scoop to drop balls of cookie dough on the prepared sheet, 2 inches apart.
