Black cocoa Reese’s Pieces Cookies

I had some Reese’s pieces I want to use to, so I thought putting them in some black cocoa cookies would work just fine.  I also had a few mini m&Ms left so I tossed them in too, along with milk chocolate chips. Feel free to use whatever mix-ins you want.  You cam also use unsweetened or special dark baking cocoa.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your mmeasuring cup so you get the right amount (same goes for the cocoa).  I also recommend chilling the individual doughs for a few hours.

  • Ingredients list
  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 tbs cornstarch
  • 2/3 cup black cocoa
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups of mix-ins (Reese’s pieces, m&ms, chocolate chips etc)

Directions – in a bowl, combine butter, sugar and brown sugar.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Blend in dry ingredients.  Fold in mix-ins.  Scoop out 1/4 cups dough.  Chill for a few hours.  Preheat oven for 20 minutes before baking.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Stagger cookies on prepared sheet. 

This is how I stagger cookies

Bake at  350 degrees 10 to 12 minutes.  Cool completley.  Store in covered container.  If cookies seem to gushy, pop in fridge to firm them up.
