Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture on low speed until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and 3/4 cup of the M&Ms using a rubber spatula.
  7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheets and press the remaining M&Ms onto the tops.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating pans halfway through.
  9. Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and enhance flavor. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
