I wouldn't let the kids eat the mini M&M's because I wanted to bake with them, so the girls asked if they could make the cookies on the back of the bag.
M&M Ultimate Chocolate Cookies
2 stick butter
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/4 cup flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup (1 bag) mini M&M's
In a large bowl, melt the butter. Mix in sugars, then add the eggs and vanilla and mix well. Add in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt then mix until combined. Stir in M&M's, then refrigerate the dough for an hour. Drop dough by rounded tablespoon onto a cookie sheet. Bake at 350° for 9 minutes, then set on a rack to cool.
