# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
03 - 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
06 - 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
07 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
08 - 1 large egg
09 - 1 large egg yolk
10 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

→ Mix-Ins

11 - 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
12 - 1/2 cup Christmas M&Ms

# How to Make It:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt until uniformly blended.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and combined. Add the egg, additional egg yolk, and vanilla extract, then whisk until fully integrated.
03 - Gradually stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms with no visible streaks of flour.
04 - Using a spatula, gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and Christmas M&Ms until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
05 - Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and prevent overspreading.
06 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop balls of dough, about 2 tablespoons each, and arrange them evenly on the prepared sheets.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden while centers remain soft. Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Use room-temperature eggs to ensure even mixing and a chewier texture.
