Equipment
- Wooden Spoon
- Mixing Bowl
- Frying Pan
- Chef's Knife
- Baking Sheet
- Oven
Ingredients
- 6 ounces Unsweetened chocolate chopped
- 1/2 cup Butter
- 1 3/4 cups Sugar
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1 1/4 cups Flour
- 1 1/2 cups M&M's (plus more to garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF to ensure it’s hot enough to bake the cookies perfectly. A well-preheated oven is crucial for achieving that wonderful texture.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter together. Start by microwaving for 60 seconds, then stir. Continue heating in 30-second intervals, stirring until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Once melted, add the sugar to the bowl. Mix well until the sugar is fully incorporated and the mixture looks glossy.
- Next, crack in the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition until fully combined. The eggs should create a rich, creamy mixture that’s thick and luscious.
- Add the vanilla and stir to combine. This will enhance the overall flavor of the cookies.
- Gradually add the flour, stirring gently until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.
- Now it’s time to fold in the M&M's. Mix until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough, ensuring every bite will have some color and sweetness.
- Using a rounded tablespoon, drop the dough onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Make sure to leave some space between each cookie so they have room to spread as they bake.
- Bake the cookies in your preheated oven for about 10 minutes. The centers should still look slightly underbaked; that’s the secret to keeping them soft and chewy!
- If desired, quickly press a few extra M&M's into the hot cookies right after they come out of the oven. This adds a beautiful touch and makes them even more appealing!
- Let the cookies cool on the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. This will help them set up perfectly.
