Cocoa M&M cookie (ice cream sandwich)
This is a twist on my regular M&M cookie recipe. The dark cocoa looks great with these Halloween M&Ms. SPOOKY. It also makes a nice cookie for ice cream sandwiches. Say it with me, ooh, aahh.
Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup Valhrona cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 package M&Ms
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In the bowl of an electric mixer cream together the butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and sugar until fluffy. Add the 2 eggs.
IN a bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Add to butter mixture.
Once combined, carefully stir in the M&Ms. YES, the whole bag. Drop by teaspoon on baking sheets – or if you GIANT cookies, make big balls and place about 6 on a sheet. Both work great.
Bake for 8 -10 minutes, a little longer for extra crispness. Let cool on a wire rack.
Once cooled, take it that one step further and put a scoop of ice cream in between two cookies. You won’t believe how tasty and addictive this is.
[…] These are excellent and also hold up well for gifts. They look great with seasonal colored M&Ms too, just check out these cocoa ones… […]
