List of Ingredients
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 ounces semisweet chocolate -- chopped
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar -- packed
1/4 pound unsalted butter -- at room temperature
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Recipe
Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. In a sifter,
combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Sift
onto a large piece of waxed paper and set aside
until needed. Heat 1 inch of water in the bottom
of a double boiler over medium heat. Place the
semisweet chocolate in the top half of the double
boiler. Stir the chocolate until completely melted
and smooth, about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a
small bowl and set aside.
Cream the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and
butter in a large bowl until smooth. Add the eggs
and vanilla extract and mix to incorporate. Add the
melted chocolate and mix until combined. Add the
dry sifted ingredients and thoroughly combine. Add
the M&M's, mixing to incorporate. Using 3 heaping
tablespoons of dough for each cookie, portion 6
cookies, evenly space, onto each of 3 nonstick baking
sheets - or bake cookies in batches. Place the baking
sheets on the top and center racks of the preheated
oven and bake for 14 minutes.
Remove the cookies from the oven and cool to room
temperature on the baking sheets, about 30 minutes.
Store the cooled cookies in a tightly sealed plastic
container until ready to serve. Makes 18 (4-inch)
cookies.
