Preheat the oven to 360°F.

In a large bowl, add 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Whisk together and set aside.

In another bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup of packed brown sugar until creamy and fluffy.

Add 1 room temperature egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until combined.

Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until almost combined.

Fold in 3/4 cup of M&Ms until evenly distributed.

Scoop roughly 2 tablespoon-sized balls of cookie dough and place them about 2 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat.

Press some additional M&Ms on top of the cookie dough balls for decoration.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 9 minutes or until the edges are just turning golden and set.
