Self Rising M&M Brownie Chunk Cookies

What's better than freshly baked brownies?  Freshly baked brownies inside freshly baked cookies.  Oh yeah.  I made a batch of brownies today and decided to chop up half of them and throw them in a batch of chocolate chip cookies.  But not ordinary chocolate chip cookies, self rising chocolate chip cookies. So easy.  I felt like I was forgetting something since I didn't add any baking soda, baking powder, or salt!  

Self Rising M&M Brownie Chunk Cookies 

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, room temperature

1/2 cup vegetable shortening

1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed

1 Tablespoon corn syrup

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon butter extract

1 large egg

2 3/4 cups Self-Rising Flour

2 cups chopped brownies (about 4 brownies)

½ cup M&Ms

Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cream together the butter, shortening, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the corn syrup, vanilla extract, butter extract and egg and beat until well combine. Stir in the self rising flour until just blended. Stir in the chopped brownies and M&Ms.

Scoop dough using a cookies scoop onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten slightly with your hand. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove cookies from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack to cool. Makes 2 dozen cookies.

Enjoy!  -Cardamommy
