Halloween M&M Cookies

Directions

1. Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set this mixture aside.
2. In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Scoop portions of dough and roll them into 1-inch balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
6. Gently press a few orange, dark brown, and white M&M's into each dough ball, ensuring they stick.
7. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 9 to 11 minutes, until the edges are set. Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
