Everyone loves choc chip cookies, they bring childhood memories along with each bite taken! I love trying out new recipes or different 'food' experiments but this one was done just for my son Yusuf and hes love for M&M's. I thought these were the perfect accompaniment for hes afternoon tea dunking - palyful yet delicious little indulgences...
With that said i hope you enjoy them as much as he did :)
m&m cookies:
Ingredients:
* 200g butter, softened
* 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
* 1/2 cup castor sugar
* 2 eggs
* 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
* 2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
* 2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
* 180g chocolate m&ms
* 180g peanut m&ms
* a pinch of salt
Method:
Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition.
Add the vanilla extract and continue to beat until well incorporated.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the mixture and mix on low speed until just combined.
Add the m&ms into the mixture and combine into the dough using a spatula.
Cover the bowl with cling wrap or foil and let it chill in the fridge for about an hour.
Preheat oven to 175 degrees celcius.
Line a baking tray with baking paper and when ready remove the dough from the fridge and scoop out medium sized balls of dough.
Place balls well apart as they will spread when baking.
Press each ball down lightly with a fork and bake for about 15-17 minutes.
Let cool completely before eating.
*Notes
m&m's can be substituted for choc chips, smarties, oreos etc
