Recipe Information
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)

Instructions
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.
To bake cookies, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients from the jar. Mix well to evenly distribute.
In another bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
Gradually add the creamed mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. The dough will be slightly thick.
Scoop out 1- to 1.5-inch balls of dough and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
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.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
