1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

1 cup brown sugar, packed
-
1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
-
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
-
1 cup red, white, and blue M&M candies

Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth.
-
Beat in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
-
Fold in the chocolate chips, M&M candies, and sprinkles.
-
Scoop dough into 1.5-tablespoon balls and place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
-
Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
-
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
-
For an extra festive look, press a few M&Ms and sprinkles on top of each cookie before baking.
-
Make sure the butter is not too hot when mixing or it could melt the sugar and make the dough greasy.
