ZZ Double Chocolate M&M Cookies

Recipe Added:  11/28/2011
1 cup flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
4 oz milk chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup butter, cut into eight pieces
3/4 cup M&M’s
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 325F. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, place the chopped chocolate and the butter. Microwave for one minute. Stir. Microwave again for one minute stir well. If the chocolate is not fully melted, continue microwaving in 30 second intervals until the chocolate and butter are well combined (don’t overheat the chocolate or it can seize and turn hard and unusable). Let the mixture cool slightly, about 2-3 minutes until it is softened or just slightly warm.

In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, combine the chocolate mixture, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Mix on medium speed until combined. Gradually mix in flour mixture on low speed. Fold in M&M’s with a wooden spoon (don’t use a mixer or the M&M’s will break).

Line baking sheets with Silpat liners or lightly grease with cooking spray. Drop dough onto baking sheets by Tbspfuls, spacing them about 1 1/2 inches apart. Place five or six M&M’s on top of the cookie dough balls. Bake the cookies until they have slightly flattened and there are a few cracks on the surface, about 13-14 minutes. The cookies will still be soft. Let the cookies sit for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.
