Preparation

  4. Stir in the whole milk until fully incorporated.
Combine Mixtures
  1. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  2. Gently fold in the M&Ms and chocolate chips, ensuring not to crush them.
Bake
  1. Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each.
  2. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, checking for set edges and soft centers.
  3. While warm, press extra M&Ms and chocolate chips onto cookies.
Cooling
  1. Let cookies cool completely before moving to avoid fragility.
