Ingredients

3/4 cup butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla bean paste
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup mini candy-coated milk chocolate (such as M&M's®)
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup multicolored candy sprinkles

Directions

1 Cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla paste; beat until well incorporated.
2 Add flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt and mix until a dough has formed. Stir in mini M&Ms, chocolate chips, and sprinkles. Cover dough and refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.
