Using a small mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda. Set dry ingredients aside.

Keeping the mixer speed on low, slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix just until the flour mixture is well incorporated.
Fold in the chocolate chips and M&M’s. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cookie dough for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, set it aside.
Remove the cookie dough from the refrigerator. Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop dough.
Roll the cookie dough into a ball. Space the dough balls 2 inches apart.
Place 5 to 7 M&M’s on top of each cookie dough ball.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges are golden brown. Let baked cookies cool on a wire rack.
