These M&M cookies are perfectly soft and chewy. They’re also just the right level of thickness – so you can pack them with lots of M&Ms, and there’s zero dry cookie crumbs.
The main secret to the perfect texture is using a combo of shortening and butter. Cookies made with shortening have that extra “melt-in-your mouth” quality, and will definitely remind you of the bakery cookies you bought as a kid. However, butter provides more flavor than shortening. So by using a combo of both shortening and butter, you get the perfect texture and more flavor.
