CANDY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPE
INGREDIENTS
- 2-1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1-1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup M&M’s candies
- 32 Reese’s miniatures
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large cookie sheet (roughly 16 X 20) with parchment paper.
- Sift flour, baking soda and salt together in a bowl using a wire whisk and set aside.
- Cream butter and both sugars using a mixer. Add eggs one at a time and incorporate. Add vanilla and mix until combined
- Add flour mixture and mix together until just combined.
- Add in chocolate chips and M&M’s, reserving some of each for the end. Mix together on low or stir by hand until incorporated.
- Place eight 1-1/2 inch scoops of dough (flush with the scoop) on prepared cookie sheet about 3 inches apart. Press two Reese’s (on their sides) into the scoops of dough. Then place another 1-1/2 inch scoop on the tops. Press dough together to seal and form balls. It’s ok if some of the Reese’s candies peek through. Better even to give the cookies extra visual interest. Press reserved chocolate chips and M&M’s on the surface of the dough.
- Chill for about 15 minutes and then bake for 12-14 minutes until cookies are done. Or almost done if you like them soft like I do. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
