Christmas Cookie Week: Chocolate Dream Cookies

So, as part of cookie week, I think that it's time for a little chocolate, don't you?

Hello *Chocolate Dream Cookie*

You are so good and smell heavenly.

 You are Santa's favourite cookie!

You are a chocolate lovely with holiday M&M's mixed in!

Here is the recipe to make your own:

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup baking cocoa

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teapsoon salt

1 cup packed brown sugar

3/4 cup white sugar

1 cup butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

1pkg. holiday M&M's

Directions:

Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in small bowl.

Beat butter, brown sugar, white sugar and vanilla in large mixing bowl until creamy.

Beat in eggs for 2 minutes or until light & fluffy.

Gradually beat in flour mixture.

Stir in holiday M&M's.

Drop by rounded teaspoon onto ungreased baking sheet.

Bake for 8-10 minutes at 375 degrees or until cookies are puffed.

Cook on baking sheets for 2 minutes.

Remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Makes 3 1/2 dozen cookies. 

And if you have been reading my blog for awhile, you know that last year I dressed up these cookies for Christmas with drizzled white chocolate and crushed candy canes for a very pretty look.

{If you do this recipe version, you can replace the M&M's with 2 cups of chocolate chips.}

And to everyone who is celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow,

I wish you a wonderful day and a beautiful celebration!
