Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup M&Ms candies
Binding/Flavor Ingredients:
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tbsp milk
Coating/Decoration:
- 1 cup melted chocolate
- 1/4 cup sprinkles
- 1/2 cup additional M&Ms for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring an even surface for your delectable treats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, creating a smooth base for the cookie dough.
- Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture, whisking vigorously until fully combined and the texture becomes uniform.
- Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl, eliminating any potential lumps that might disrupt the smooth consistency.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently to create a rich chocolate cookie dough without overmixing.
- Add milk to slightly adjust the dough’s consistency, ensuring it’s malleable enough to shape but not too sticky.
- Fold in chocolate chips and M&Ms, distributing them evenly throughout the dough for maximum flavor in every bite.
- Form small, compact balls of dough, placing them carefully on the prepared baking sheet with adequate spacing.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, watching carefully to prevent overcooking. The cookies should appear slightly soft in the center when removed from the oven.
- Allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack, giving them time to set and develop a perfect texture.
- Melt chocolate for coating, creating a smooth, glossy finish for the cookie dough bombs.
- Dip each cooled cookie into the melted chocolate, ensuring complete coverage and a professional-looking finish.
- Immediately sprinkle additional M&Ms and decorative sprinkles on top of the chocolate coating while it’s still wet.
- Refrigerate the chocolate-covered cookie dough bombs for 15-20 minutes to set the chocolate and create a satisfying crunch.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature, revealing a delightful combination of chocolate chip cookie dough and decadent chocolate coating.
Notes
- Check butter temperature to ensure smooth, creamy mixing without overmixing.
- Use room-temperature eggs for better incorporation and smoother batter consistency.
- Sifting dry ingredients prevents clumping and creates a more uniform texture in the dough.
- Adjust milk quantity carefully to maintain ideal dough consistency for shaping.
- Chill dough briefly if it becomes too soft during handling for easier ball formation.
- Experiment with different chocolate chip varieties or alternative mix-ins for unique flavor profiles.
- Use gluten-free flour for a celiac-friendly version of the recipe.
- Store chocolate-covered bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Allow chocolate coating to set completely before stacking or storing to prevent smudging.
- For a lower-sugar option, substitute some sugar with stevia or reduce overall sugar content.
