Mix in egg and vanilla extract.
Add dry ingredients into wet ingredients until flour is fully incorporated.
Fold in chocolate chunks and M&M's. (reserve some M & M for pressing onto cookie dough balls if desired)
Using a mini cookie scoop, scoop out dough balls and place 2 inches apart on baking sheet.
Press a few m&m's gently into the dough ball. (This will give your cookies a nice appearance once baked)
