Servings: 24 cookies
Calories: 221kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips plus more for topping
- 3/4 cup pastel spring candy-coated chocolate pieces plus more for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and sugars together in a large bowl using your stand mixer or a hand-held mixer on high speed. Beat in the egg, the vanilla extract and the milk.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, the flour, the baking soda and the salt and when it's combined add it to the butter mixture.
- Mix everything together until it's well combined and there are no streaks of flour remaining.
- Stir in the white chocolate chips and the candy-coated chocolates (I use spring M&Ms) by hand, so the mixer doesn't break them up.
- Scoop the cookie dough out in portions just a little bigger than a tablespoon and roll into balls.
- Place the dough balls onto the lined baking sheet and press down just slightly to help the cookies flatten and spread slightly as they bake.
- Add a few extra white chocolate chips and M&Ms onto the top of each cookie after you flatten it.
- Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10-12 minutes or until the cookies have lost their shine on top.
- Let the cookies cool slightly on the pan before trying to move them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will ensure they stay crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside.
- Enjoy, once the cookies are cooled completely.
Notes
These cookies freeze well and keep at room temperature for about 3 days in an airtight container or resealable bag.
