Chocolate M&M Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 Cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
• 1 Cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 Cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 C all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 Cup mini M&Ms

Method

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugars on medium speed until well combined (about 2 minutes). Add in the eggs and vanilla and mix until just combined. Scrape down the sides.
2. In a medium separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Add into the mixing bowl and mix until just combined – stir in M&M candies.
3. Chill dough for at least 30 minutes.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (330 for convect bake). With a cookie scoop, scoop cookies onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet about 2-inches apart. Bake for 7-9 minutes (cookies will be a little undercooked, but should be able to hold their shape after resting on the pan for 2 minutes after baking).
5. Enjoy!
