Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then add the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips and MM candies using a spatula.
Drop rounded balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until slightly underbaked in the center.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Allow the cookies to cool completely on the wire rack.
