Pumpkin Spice M&M Sugar Cookies

1 cup unsalted butter, softened 2 cups white sugar 2 eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 3 cups all-purpose flour 1 TB pumpkin pie spice 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp salt 1 package Pumpkin Spice M&Ms

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until smooth. In a medium sized bowl, combine flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry mixture to the butter mixture and beat until fully incorporated.

Reserve 1/2 cup of Pumpkin Spice M&Ms and set aside. Pour remaining M&Ms into batter and stir carefully with a spoon. Form cookies into small balls and and bake in the preheated oven until set, about 12 minutes. Remove from oven and cool slightly. While cookies are cooling, place a few of the reserved M&Ms on top of each cookie, pushing down to make sure they stick. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
