M&M Chocolate Chunk Cookies

What you need:

    • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour [spoon into measuring cup and level - don't scoop!]
    • 1 tsp. baking soda
    • 1 1/2 tsp. cornstarch
    • 1/2 tsp. salt
    • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
    • 3/4 cup brown sugar, loosely packed
    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 large egg, at room temperature [you can do this by placing egg in warm water for 5 minutes]
    • 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
    • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
    • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chunks
    • 1 cup mini M&Ms [you can reserve some to place on top of cookie after baking, I prefer mine a little rustic]

Directions:

    1. In a large bowl, lightly mix together flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt.
    2. In a separate bowl, whisk butter and sugars until "smooth".
    3. Add egg and whisk, then egg yolk and whisk.
    4. Whisk in vanilla extract.
    5. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix with a rubber spatula.
    6. Fold in the chocolate chunks and M&Ms.
    7. Cover and refrigerate overnight. You can chill up to 3 days.
    8. Remove from fridge and let sit for 10 minutes while you preheat your oven to 325*.
    9. Roll dough into 3 Tbsp. size balls. They should be taller than wide.
    10. Place 8 cookie dough balls onto a silicone or parchment paper lined baking sheet.
    11. Bake at 325* for 10 to 12 minutes.
    12. Remove and cool for 10 minutes - you can press in extra M&Ms right after you remove them from the oven, if you want. Then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
    13. Makes 16 cookies.
