Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour King Arthur recommended
  • 1/2 cup almond flour Bob’s Red Mill for extra chew
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened (Land O Lakes or Kerrygold)
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar C&H
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract Nielsen-Massey
  • 3 tbsp whole milk Greek yogurt for creaminess
  • 1 1/4 cups holiday-themed M&M candies red, green, white
  • As needed extra candies or sprinkles for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat—this helps cookies bake evenly and makes cleanup a breeze.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, then fold in the M&M candies gently.
  • Shape the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Scoop dough onto prepared sheets, spacing apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges turn golden.
  • Let cookies rest on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  • Chill remaining dough if needed. Store baked cookies in an airtight container once cool.

Notes

Use cold butter for a flaky edge. Measure flour by spooning into the cup. Whole milk Greek yogurt keeps treats moist without weighing them down. Dough consistency should be soft but not sticky.
