The cookie base is a buttery, soft, and chewy cookie dough, infused with the rich flavor of chocolate. These are based off of my famous Kroll’s Kookies, so if you love that recipe, you’ll love these just as much! As you take a bite, you’ll experience the delightful contrast of the sweet and slightly crunchy M&M candies, which add bursts of color and a pop of sweetness to every mouthful.
All purpose flour: adds structure to the cookie. Spoon and level by using a spoon to scoop the flour into the measuring cup and use the back of a knife to level off the top of it. This helps prevent you from using too much flour than is necessary. Unsalted butter: feel free to use salted if that’s what you prefer. Egg + egg yolk: adds moisture and helps with chewiness. Granulated Sugar: Provides sweetness and contributes to the crispness of the cookie edges. Brown Sugar: Adds moisture and a caramel-like flavor due to its molasses content, contributing to the chewiness. Flaky sea salt: I love Maldon. It’s the perfect finishing touch and really not optional in my opinion! It balances out the sweet flavors and compliments this cookie really well. Vanilla extract: I always say 1 tsp. but I usually end up adding more hehehe. The additional vanilla gives the cookies lots of flavor! M&Ms: Cupids mix! Chocolate chips: I like dark chocolate chips in these cookies, but feel free to add whatever you like.
