Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheets
  • Parchment Paper
  • Electric Mixer

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 3/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips, melted (for drizzle)
  • 1 1/2 cups M&M’s, plus extra for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to your wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  • Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups of M&M’s, saving a handful for pressing on top of the cookies.
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto your prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each.
  • Press a few more M&M’s onto the top of each dough ball.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look soft.
  • Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
  • Once cool, drizzle the melted chocolate chips over the cookies.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
