The original recipe is from
Pinch of Yum. These are soft and amazing. The coconut oil is a healthy alternative to oil/butter and makes them have a wonderful coconut-y taste!
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 cup Coconut Oil
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2½ cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups M&M's
- Preheat the
oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mix the brown sugar, white sugar, coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla with electric mixers on low speed until
well mixed.
- Add
the 2½ cups flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined. Stir the
M&M's into the dough.
- Roll
into large balls and press extra M&M's into the tops. Flatten slightly with
your palm or the back of a wooden spoon. Bake for 8-10 minutes (they
will be slightly underbaked). Remove from cookie sheet right away and
place on cooling rack. Let stand for 5-10 minutes to help the cookies
hold their shape.
