Chocolate Coconut M&M Cookies Recipe
These chocolate coconut M&M cookies are to die for! If you like M&Ms in your cookies (and who doesn’t), then you’re going to love these.
Ingredients:
3/4 c unsweetened cocoa powder (I used Penzeys Natural Cocoa)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c butter, softened
1/2 c shortening, at room temperature
Chocolate Coconut M&M Cookies
2/3 c packed light brown sugar
1 tsp mexican vanilla extract (Penzeys Mexican Vanilla, of course!)
2 large eggs
1 bag Coconut M&Ms (1 cup for the batter plus the rest for the cookie tops)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl. Whisk to combine.
In a large bowl, beat butter and shortening with sugars and vanilla until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each one. Beat flour mixture into butter/sugar mixture, in 2 or 3 additions. Stir in M&Ms with a wooden spoon. Drop by tablespoons (I used a tablespoon-size cookie scoop) onto ungreased cookie sheets. Add a couple of M&Ms to each cookie. Bake for 9 or 10 minutes. Cool on cookie sheet for a minute or two, then remove to wire rack to finish cooling.
Makes 3 dozen cookies.
The coconut works in beautifully with the mexican vanilla and chocolate.
