Directions
Step one: Get started by whisked together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Once combined you can set it aside for later.
Step two: Use a stand mixer or electric mixer beat softened butter with melted chocolate, sugar, and brown sugar.
Step three: Once well combined add in egg, vanilla extract, and milk. Add in dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
Step four: Fold in 1 cup Christmas M&Ms. Place dough in the fridge and allow to chill for at least 2 hours.
Step five: Once your dough has chilled you can preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Then you want to prepare your baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick cooking spray. Roll out into 1 inch balls and place them on your baking sheet
Step six: Add remaining ¼ cup Christmas M&Ms to the tops of each cookie. Bake for 12-13 minutes.
