Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s dive right into the magic! First, start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. It’s important to mix these dry ingredients well; this ensures that your cake has an even rise and that every bite is filled with those delicious flavors. In another bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. The aroma in this step is heavenly! Add in the vanilla extract and your egg, mixing well before gradually incorporating your dry ingredients. Once this batter is smooth, fold in the chocolate chips and M&M’s for that burst of color and taste. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
