Double Chocolate M&M Cookies (2024)

Double Chocolate M&M Cookies (1)

Hubby is into coffee the way I am into cookies. He gets his coffee beans freshly sourced every time. And he takes the time to grind the fresh beans just before brewing. Every. Time.

That trusty coffee grinder goes off every morning. This kind of thing is just too much work for lazy ol’ me, and so I just ask Hubby to grind my entire batch of beans at once. That way, I’m set for a couple of weeks. It’s just how I roll. Simplify, simplify.

Besides, there is a reason I keep it simple and don’t use many gadgets and appliances beyond the basics.

I tend to break things…

Therefore, I stick to the basics. Take my brand new mandolin slicer, for instance. It’s actually been sitting in my cupboard for years. It sounded great in theory, but I realized I’m just a simple knife-and-cutting board type of gal. And I’m deathly afraid of shredding my hand in that slicer.

I also prefer to knead my own bread, rather than use a complicated bread machine I don’t own. See this super yummyRustic Rosemary Garlic Bread? I rely on as few gadgets as possible…keepin’ it simple.

Plus, I did say I’m totally accident prone? For whatever reason, I decided to try my hand at using Hubby’s coffee grinder for myself a few days ago. I broke the coffee grinder.

Hubby has been using that coffee grinder happily for 10 years. I broke it within minutes. Yeah, he’ll be hiding his gadgets from now on.

I’ll stick to baking cookies. Cookies are always simple, straightforward, and forever good. I can’t break cookie dough, after all. And if I do happen to break a cookie…well, all I have to do is eat it.

I can totally live with that.

These Double Chocolate M&M Cookies are the bomb. They are chewy, brownie-like, and chocolatey. They stay soft for days, and the cookie dough freezes beautifully. M&M’s are always a good thing in cookies. Pick seasonal candy colors to suit your mood. They’re sure to hit the spot for any cookie ‘n chocolate craving!

Enjoy!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F with rack on lower middle position. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and cocoa.

  • In another large bowl or the bowl of stand mixer, combine butter, both sugars, and vanilla. Beat on medium-high until it's as fluffy as it can get, scraping sides down periodically; about 3-4 minutes. Add beaten eggs and beat just to combine.

  • Using rubber spatula, gently fold flour mixture into butter mixture just until batter is completely moistened. Fold in M&M's.

  • Wrap and chill dough until firm enough to handle, about 30 min to 1 hour.

  • Form dough into walnut sized balls and flatten slightly, as these tend not to spread too much. Place on parchment lined baking sheet and bake about 8 minutes. They'll seem a bit underdone, but will set up nicely when cool.

  • Cool on wire rack and enjoy!

FAQs

How do you know when double chocolate cookies are done? ›

It's hard to see when the cookies are done because they're so dark. Instead, give a cookie a light tap on the edge and if it feels slightly set, they're done. Be careful with this because they're hot! The centers will still look very soft and that's ok.

What is a double chocolate M&M? ›

They're made with the usual milk chocolate core surrounded by an extra layer of dark chocolate, so it's not too sweet at all.

Why do my chocolate chip cookies look wrong? ›

Why are my chocolate chip cookies puffy instead of flat? ›

Q: Why are my cookies so puffy and cakey? Whipping too much air into the dough. That fluffy texture you want in a cake results from beating a lot of air into the room temperature butter and sugar, and it does the same for cookies. So don't overdo it when you're creaming together the butter and sugar.

Why do my chocolate chip cookies always get hard? ›

Cookies become hard when the moisture in them evaporates. This can be caused by leaving them out in the air for too long, baking them for too long, or storing them improperly. The lack of moisture makes the cookies hard and dry, which makes them difficult to enjoy.

Will cookies harden as they cool? ›

If the dough is shiny as it bakes (thanks to the butter or other fat in it), that shine will significantly reduce or go away once the cookies are set. As soon as they reach that stage, remove them from the oven. Even if they don't feel firm yet, they'll continue to set and harden as they cool.

Do cookies go hard or soft when stale? ›

When cookies are freshly baked, they are always soft. Then, depending on the type of cookies being made, some go hard (crisp might be a better term), and others stay soft as they cool. Then as they get old, they go stale. The crisp cookies go soft, and the soft cookies go hard.
