Mini M&Ms Chocolate Chunk Cookie Recipe
- Recipe by Rosie Morgan -
A WORD FROM THE CHEF
This is a simple cookie recipe with added mini M&Ms for extra flavour and texture. These thicker style cookies are crunchy and a little dense with pops of sweetness from the milk chocolate and mini M&Ms. They are perfectly satisfying when eaten alone but are extra delicious when dunked into a glass of cold milk.
INGREDIENTS
(Makes 15 cookies)
170 grams softened butter room temperature
110 grams soft brown sugar
60 grams white caster sugar
One whole egg
300 grams plain flour
1tsp baking powder
50 grams chopped milk chocolate or chocolate chips
70 grams mini M&Ms
METHOD
In a large mixing bowl add the softened butter, brown sugar and white sugar.
Beat together with an electric whisk, stand mixer with paddle attachment or by hand with a wooden spoon for 4-5 minutes until the sugar has dissolved and the butter has become soft and creamy.
Add the egg and mix for another minute until combined and smooth.
Add the flour and baking powder and mix together for another minute.
Add in the chopped milk chocolate chunks or chips and mini M&Ms and mix together well.
Cover the bowl with cling film and place into the fridge for 30 minutes to let the dough firm up and chill.
Preheat oven to 180°c (360°f) or 170°c (340°f) if fan assisted.
Weigh the dough into 50 gram pieces. Roll each piece in your hands till it resembles a ball.
Place the balls onto baking trays with plenty of space in between and press down onto each ball slightly.
For extra pretty cookies, add a few bits of chocolate chunks and three to four mini M&Ms onto each cookie.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cookies have spread out and turned a nice even golden brown on the edges. Allow to cool before removing from the tray.
Eat immediately or store leftovers in an airtight container for up to five days at room temperature.
