• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 2/3 cup bread flour
• 1/2 cup (or more) mini M&M's

Instructions:
 In a large mixing bowl, using a mixer on medium speed, beat together butter, sugar, vanilla and salt until creamy.  Beat in egg until combined.  Sift in baking powder, baking soda and flour, and beat on low speed until just combined.  Stir in M&M's until just combined.

Chill dough in freezer for 30 minutes.  Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

For mini cookies, shape teaspoons of dough into balls and place on a cookie sheet, spacing about 3/4 inch apart.  For larger cookies, shape rounded tablespoons of dough into balls and place on cookie sheets spacing about 1 inch apart.  Bake 10 minutes for minis, 14 minutes for larger cookies, or until light golden around edges.
