Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2⅛ cups all-purpose flour ((10⅝ ounces))
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 12 tablespoons unsalted butter (, melted and cooled slightly)
  • 1 cup light or dark brown sugar (( 7 ounces))
  • ½ cup granulated sugar ((3½ ounces))
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1-2 cups candy covered chocolate pieces, (of course you know 2 cups is best!)

Instruction

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees with racks in the upper-middle and lower-middle positions.
  • In a medium bowl mix flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
  • With electric mixer, beat butter and sugars until thoroughly blended. Mix in egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Stir in M&M's.
  • Roll a scant ¼ cup of dough into a ball. Holding the ball in both hands, pull ball apart into 2 equal halves. Rotate just 90 degrees so jagged edges face up and press the two pieces back together again. Place on baking sheet with jagged edges facing up, spacing 2½ inches apart.
  • Bake 15-18 minutes. Cookies should be slightly undercooked when you remove them from the oven. Cool cookies on baking sheets.
