Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F, and line a baking sheet with parchment.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and both sugars together 1-2 minutes.
Add the vanilla and egg and mix until combined.
Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, and slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture, until everything is combined, and dough is formed.
Add the M&Ms and chocolate chips, and fold into the dough.
Use a cookie scoop to scoop the cookies onto the parchment.
Bake 9-10 minutes.
When you remove the cookies from the oven, create the bunny shapes by pressing extra M&Ms into the cookies. We made the ears by cutting M&Ms in half and pressing into the cookies.

Notes

Chill the dough – Letting the dough chill for at least 30 minutes helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking.

Use a cookie scoop – This ensures all your cookies are the same size and bake evenly. Not sure what size scoop to use? Check out my free printable below!

Don’t overbake – Take the cookies out when the edges are lightly golden, even if the centers look a bit soft—they’ll firm up as they cool.

Use parchment paper or silicone mats – This helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.

Press extra chips or M&M’s on top – Do this right after baking for a pretty, bakery-style look.
