Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream together butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
Gradually add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Fold in mini chocolate chips and one cup of mini M&Ms.
Form teaspoon-sized balls of dough and press each into reserved mini M&Ms before placing them on the prepared baking sheets.
