Clean and dry 1-quart jar. Using a funnel or spoon add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Tap on counter to level.
Spoon in the brown sugar and press down the edges with a spoon. Layer in the granulated sugar.
Add the chocolate chips and M&M’s. Seal jar.
Wet ingredient for baking
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F (or 375°F if you like edges a little more golden). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat together the butter, egg, and vanilla.
Dump the jar ingredients into the bowl and stir until combined. Use hands if needed to combine mixture. Refrigerate at least 15 to 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
Using a large cookie scoop (or about 2 Tablespoons), scoop the dough onto the baking sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly crisp yet still soft in the middle. Remove from oven. Let cool on baking sheet 2 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
Storage: The sealed jar will stay fresh for 1 to 2 months.My original M&M cookie recipe.
