Chocoloate M&M Cookies


I am always looking for a nice chocolate cookie.  Something simple, chocolatey, and chewy.  I was totally surprised by the outcome on these.  They fit all of the above criteria.  And I am really excited about them!  I found the recipe on the back of a bag of mini M&Ms and thought I'd give it a shot.  I don't often make product recipes, but I made this one on a whim and they totally turned out great.

Chocolate M&M Cookies

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups  mini M&Ms
1 cup milk chocolate chips

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

In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.  Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract.  Add the flour, baking soda, and salt, and beat until just combined.  Stir in the mini M&Ms and chocolate chips.

Drop the dough by 2 tablespoons size balls onto the prepared baking sheet.  Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the tops of the cookies are just set.  Remove cookies from the oven and let cool for several minutes on the pan.  Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.  Makes about 30 cookies.

Enjoy!  -Cardamommy
