Chocolate Snack Monster Cookies

Adapted from Cookies & Cups

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cold butter cubed
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 2 eggs at room temp
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup mini M&M's
  • 1 cup marshmallow bits
  • 1 cup pretzel pieces
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment mix the butter cubes until smooth, about 1 minute. Add in both sugars and continue mixing on medium speed for 2 more minutes until light and fluffy, scraping the sides of your bowl as necessary.
  • Next add in the cocoa powder until evenly mixed.
  • With the mixer still on medium add in the eggs one at a time, vanilla, baking soda and salt and mix for 1 minute until smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl making sure everything is incorporated.
  • Turn the mixer to low and add in the flour, mixing until just combined.
  • Finally stir in the M&M's, marshmallows, pretzels and chocolate chips.
  • Using a large cookie scoop drop the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet (about 2 Tbsp size). These do not spread much, so they will be big fluffy cookies.
  • Add a few M&M's and marshmallows to the top so they bake up with pretty visible filling pieces.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set. Centers might seem under-cooked, this is ok.
  • Allow the cookies to cool for 3 minutes on the cookie sheet and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
