Description
Chocolate chip M&M cookies are fun, festive and easy to make! Flaunting three different types of chocolate, they’re also called triple chocolate cookies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sticks salted butter (1 cup), softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light-brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (pure Mexican vanilla preferred)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 cup natural cocoa powder
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups M&Ms (regular-size M&Ms)
- 1 10-ounce package of mini chocolate morsels (chocolate chips)
- 1/2 cup M&Ms for garnishing
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter, granulated sugar, light-brown sugar and vanilla. Add in eggs and mix until combined.
- Add in the salt, baking soda, cornstarch and cocoa powder. Mix until well blended. Add in the flour and mix again until it’s well incorporated. With a spatula, scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix briefly.
- Remove the mixing bowl from the stand mixer. Use a spatula to gently fold the M&Ms and mini chocolate chips into the cookie dough. Use a cookie scoop or two teaspoons to transfer small balls of cookie dough onto the baking trays.
- Bake the cookies for 8 minutes (but no longer than 10 minutes max!). The cookies will seem to be a bit undercooked but they’ll solidify when cooling. The cooled cookies will be soft on the top and middle, just slightly crisp on the bottom, and super yummy.
- As soon as the cookies are pulled out of the oven, garnish each one with several hand-placed M&Ms on top. Make them look festive, happy and gorgeous!
