Perfect M&M Cookies

PERFECT M&M COOKIES
~
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour, fluffed to aerate before measuring
1 teaspoon table salt
1-1/8 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter at room temperature
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, golden or dark
1 generous teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs at room temperature (or warmed in warm water for 5 minutes)
M&Ms, 6 per cookie
~
Preheat oven to 375F. In a small bowl, stir together flour, salt and baking soda. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars with an electric mixer until creamy. Add vanilla, then one at a time, the eggs, mixing well after each. Mix in flour mixture til fully combined. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Form balls a tad smaller than a golf ball and arrange well apart on a baking sheet. Place in oven for about 9 minutes. Remove and lightly place M&Ms on top. Return to oven for 3 – 5 minutes. (Cookie sheets vary in performance. Track the exact number of minutes so your cookies neither under- nor over-bake.) Remove from oven and let cool before transferring to a rack to cool.
