The “Big Cookie” in all of its big and extra special glory.

Ha! You won’t find this at the mall cookie shop, because this cookie is both big and extra special. Duh.

DARK CHOCOLATE M&M BIG COOKIE

“Wanting something special to inspire a work team, I went big. Big cookie, that is. Then to make it extra special, I substituted Dark Chocolate M&Ms for chocolate chips and presto… something extra special! Big and extra special, what more could you want from a cookie? Enjoy!”

½ cup Butter

½ cup Sugar

¼ cup Brown Sugar

1 Egg

¾ teaspoon Vanilla Extract

1½ cups Flour

¼ teaspoon Baking Soda

¼ teaspoon Salt

½ cup Dark Chocolate M&Ms

½ cup Dark Chocolate M&Ms

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Grease a 13”x9” pan or preferably a 12” diameter Wilton brand Round Cookie Pan.

Mix butter, sugar, and brown sugar.

Mix in egg and vanilla extract.

Mix in flour, baking soda, and salt.

Stir in ½ cup Dark Chocolate M&Ms.

Spread dough within one inch of the edge of the pan around the entire perimeter. This will allow the cookie dough room to expand, while baking.

Spread the remaining ½ cup Dark Chocolate M&Ms over the surface of the cookie dough and gently press down.

Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Cool pan on wire rack for 5 minutes before cutting into slices with a pizza cutter.

 

Makes about 8 long triangular cookies.
