Equipment

  • parchment paper
  • sheet pans

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup dark brown sugar packed
  • 1 large egg preferably room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup + 2 Tbsp. Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa Powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 Tbsp. milk
  • 1 ¼ cups semi sweet chocolate chips
  • Dark Chocolate M&M’s for topping the cookies

Instructions
 

  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the butter and sugars. Beat together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Blend in the egg and vanilla, scrape down the bowl if needed.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in the mixer on low speed just until incorporated. Mix in the milk on the lowest speed and fold in the chocolate chips. .
  • Preheat the oven to 350˚ F
  • Roll 2 tablespoons of dough into balls and place on the baking sheets. Top cookies with M&M’s. Place cookie sheet in freezer for 10-15 minutes.
  • Bake 10-11 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

I used half dark chocolate cocoa powder and half regular, only due to running out of the dark. This recipe makes large cookies, so if you are making them smaller, take into account the bake time will be a little shorter.
