This Copycat Mrs. Fields Sugar Butter Cookie Recipe with M&M’s are a delicious sugar cookie that are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. These cookies are so much like the original. You will LOVE them!

Don’t get me wrong, I love a good chocolate chip cookie. But there is something about this cookie I can’t resist if I’m walking past a Mrs. Fields stand in the mall.

This recipe is sugar butter goodness with melty, chocolate M&M’s candy. What could be better?!

I don’t actually have a Mrs. Fields store nearby any longer, so I was determined to duplicate this recipe at home. I think I did pretty darn good!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (113g) butter, softened
• 1/2 cup (95g) butter-flavored shortening
• 1 1/2 cups (301g) sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cups (304g) all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 cup (164g) M&M’s chocolate candies

Instructions

• Line two cookie sheets with parchment or a Silpat baking mat and set aside. (You can skip this step if you do not have parchment or a Silpat. It just makes it a little easier to remove the cookies.)
• In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine flour and baking soda with a whisk and set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, or a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer, beat butter and shortening on medium until combined.
• Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula and add the sugar. Beat on medium until light and fluffy.
• Add eggs and vanilla. Beat until just combined. Scrape down sides of bowl, if needed.
• Add flour mixture and beat until just combined.
• Chill dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour or more.
• Preheat oven to 375° F.
• Roll out balls of dough about 1 inch in diameter and place 2 inches apart onto cookie sheet. (I bake one cookie sheet at a time. I find the cookies bake evenly that way.)
• Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes until golden.
• After removing cookies from the oven, leave them on the sheet and press M&M candies onto each cookie. ( I don’t mix the candies into the dough because when they bake in the oven, they tend to crack.)
• Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool.

Now that I have created the cookie of my dreams, my day is complete! About to send these cookies packing, because if I don’t, I will eat them ALL!!!
