1
Oven at 375 degrees.
2
In a large bowl, using an electric hand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until well combined.
3
Next add in the eggs and vanilla. Mix until the mixture is well combined and the color has lightened and is smooth and creamy looking.
4
In a small bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. With the mixer on low add half the dry mix in until mostly combined then the remaining dry mix. Only mix until it is just barely combined. You are better off leaving a little flour not combined then over mixing it with the electric mixer.
5
Next, using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula stir in the candies.
6
Using a cookie scoop, scoop them onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for approx 12-14 minutes or until the edges are a light golden brown.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
