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

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Mix everything together until it's well combined and there are no streaks of flour remaining.

5. 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.

6. Scoop the cookie dough out in portions just a little bigger than a tablespoon and roll into balls.

7. 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.

8. Add a few extra white chocolate chips and M&Ms onto the top of each cookie after you flatten it.

9. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10-12 minutes or until the cookies have lost their shine on top.

10. 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.

11. Enjoy, once the cookies are cooled completely.

Recipe Notes

These cookies freeze well and keep at room temperature for about 3 days in an airtight container or resealable bag.
