Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups holiday M&Ms
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips
  • ½ cup holiday sprinkles
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 5 cups sifted powdered sugar
  • Pinch of fine sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • Green gel food coloring
  • Red gel food coloring

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line sheet trays with parchment paper, set aside.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt, set aside.
  3. In the body of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter with the granulated and brown sugar for 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time until fully mixed, stir in the vanilla.
  5. Add the flour mixture to the bowl and slowly stir it in until combined. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  6. Add the M&Ms and chocolate chips, and stir to combine.
  7. Add the sprinkles and stir to combine.
  8. Take 2 tablespoons of the dough and roll it into a ball; make them a little bit taller than wide, in a spherical shape to avoid too much spread. Continue with all the dough.
  9. Bake for 11-12 minutes until lightly golden brown along the edge and the tops appear dry. Do not overbake.
  10. When they come out of the oven, press more M&M’s, chocolate chips, and sprinkles into the dough for a pretty presentation if desired. Let cool for 10 minutes on the sheet tray, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. While the cookies are baking, make the filling. Cream the butter in the body of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment until smooth.
  12. Add the powdered sugar a little at a time until fully mixed in. Add the salt, vanilla, and milk. Stir to combine, then place on medium-high speed for 3 minutes until fluffy.
  13. Divide the frosting evenly between 3 bowls. Add red food coloring to one bowl and green food coloring to another bowl, and stir to combine until you reach your desired color. Leave the last bowl as is.
  14. Place the frosting in three piping bags or into three plastic bags and snip off the end. Pipe a dollop of each color onto the bottom of half of the cookies. Place another cookie on top and gently press down to form a sandwich. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is softened for better mixing.
  • Do not overbake the cookies for a chewy texture.
  • Feel free to customize colors and sprinkles according to your preference.
