Hocus Pocus Chocolate Cookies

I love chocolate cookies. This is the best chocolate cookie recipe that is thick and chewy. With a gooey inside that is perfect for any Hocus Pocus fan, these chocolate cookies without chocolate chips, are topped with bright colored M&Ms.

When you are making these cookies, you are making them with a special treat inside. This is the witch’s secret part of these cookies. Using a flavor injector, you are adding neon green to these cookies, much like a witch’s brew. The colors are bright against the chocolate cookies. These are just yummy treats that are perfect for Halloween.

When making the best chocolate cookies, you want them to stay nice and chewy and perfect. In order to do that, you have to store them properly. It is important that the chocolate cookies are stored in an airtight container or freezer bag. This will keep the cookies from going stale.

When I make cookies I like to freeze some. This lets me have fresh cookies all the time. I can freeze the cookie dough by scooping it into cookies and putting it on a plate or baking sheet, whatever can fit into your freezer, Then once the cookie dough balls are frozen, I move them to a freezer bag. This way, I can take out as many or as little as I like. I can also freeze the baked cookies. I like to freeze these first before adding to a bag or container. This keeps the cookies from sticking together.

While I love making chocolate chip cookies, I really like making this a chocolate cookie recipe without chocolate chips. I feel that the M&Ms work much better with this cookie for the taste and texture I am going for. However, you could certainly add chocolate chips if you wanted.

Makes 18-20 cookies

• unsalted butter
• sugar
• brown sugar
• eggs
• vanilla
• flour
• unsweetened cocoa powder
• baking soda
• salt
• M&M Candies – green, orange, and purple

• medium bowl
• small bowl
• electric mixer and mixing bowl – I love my stand mixer. It makes my life so much easier. And there are models that are not super expensive.
• Cookie sheet
• Parchment paper
• flavor injector
• white frosting
• neon green gel food coloring
• Cookie Scoop

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Line cookie sheet with parchment paper

Separate green, orange, brown and purple M&M’s into a small bowl

Using a medium bowl combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder together.

Mix well to blend all ingredients. Set aside.

With the electric mixer cream the butter and sugars (both) together.

Add in the eggs and vanilla. Beat to mix well into the butter and sugar mixture.

Slowly begin to add small amounts of the dry ingredients into the butter, sugar, egg and vanilla mixture until all of the dry ingredients are combined.

Add some of the M&Ms to the bowl. And save some to add on top later.

With your hands begin making small dough balls. (about the size of a small ice cream scoop or 2 inches)

Again using your hands press the different colored M&M’s into each round cookie dough ball.

Bake at 350 degrees for 9-11 minutes. Remove out of the oven and allow to cool slightly on the cookie sheet. Then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Scoop the frosting into a microwave safe bowl and heat for 15 second to soften it

Mix in the drops of neon green gel food coloring

Using the flavor injector, place the needle into the bowl and pull the knob up on the injector to pull up some frosting

Poke the side of the cookie and inject frosting into the cookie until the top cracks

Repeat step on all cookies

Enjoy!
