In a large mixing bowl, cream together room temperature butter and sugar using an electric mixer until it's well-combined, light, and fluffy (approximately one minute).
2
Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition.
3
Stir in pure vanilla extract and green gel food coloring into the butter mixture until it's well combined.
4
In a separate bowl, combine together all-purpose flour, corn starch, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt using a whisk.
5
Switch the mixer to low speed, and gradually stir the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until they are well-incorporated.
6
Fold in the holiday-themed M&Ms and ensure they are well distributed throughout the dough.
7
Cover the mixing bowl with cling wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
8
Preheat the oven to 350F (177C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
9
Using a spoon, scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, forming cookies of approximately 1 1/2 tablespoons each. For perfectly round cookies, roll the dough in your hands into a smooth ball.
10
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until they are lightly golden.
11
If desired, press a few more M&Ms gently into the tops of each cookie for extra decoration, while they are still warm.

Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before removing.
