Ingredients

• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar (packed)
• 0.75 cups Chocolate chips
• 0.5 cups Mini colorful candies (e.g., M&M's)
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

If preparing a cookie mix jar for gifting, layer the dry ingredients in a 1-quart mason jar in this order: all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, granulated sugar, brown sugar, chocolate chips, and mini colorful candies. Secure the lid and include instructions for baking.

Step 2

To bake cookies, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients from the jar. Mix well to evenly distribute.

Step 4

In another bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.

Step 5

Gradually add the creamed mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. The dough will be slightly thick.

Step 6

Scoop out 1- to 1.5-inch balls of dough and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are just set and the edges are slightly firm. Do not overbake.

Step 8

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
