Servings: 3 dozen
Calories: 193kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups flour all purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 packages Sixlets Valentine's candies, 4-ounce each
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Line cookie sheets with parchment or silpat liners. In medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time. Add vanilla and mix until well blended.
- Add flour mixture and mix on low speed just until blended. Stir in chocolate chips and Sixlets. (I reserved about ⅓ of the Sixlets and pressed them into the top of the cookie immediately after they came out of the oven.)
- Using a small cookie scoop, drop by rounded scoops on to cookie sheets. Bake for 8 minutes, until edges are set, but still soft in center. Let cookies cool on the cookie tray for five minutes. Remove cookies to a wire rack to cool.
Notes
- Mixing Tips: Be careful not to overmix the dough once you add the dry ingredients. Overmixing can result in tough cookies, so just mix until the ingredients are combined.
- Cookie Size: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the dough for consistent cookie sizes. This ensures that all cookies bake evenly and are ready to enjoy at the same time.
- Baking Time: Keep an eye on the cookies as they bake, as oven temperatures may vary. The cookies are ready when the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft. They will continue to set as they cool on the baking sheet.
- Customization: Feel free to get creative with this recipe! Add chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the cookies before baking for extra flavor and texture. Don't have any Sixlets? You can substitute M&Ms, Reese's Pieces, macadamia nuts, mini peanut butter cups, or your favorite candy bar - chopped up.
