Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside. Melt chocolate with butter in a small heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water; let cool slightly.
- Put chocolate mixture, sugar, eggs, and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until combined. Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in flour mixture. Fold in M&Ms
- Using a 1 1/2-inch ice cream scoop, drop dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake until cookies are flat and surfaces crack, about 15 minutes (cookies should be soft). Let cool on parchment on wire racks. Cookies can be stored between layers of parchment in airtight containers at room temperature up to 3 days.
Tips:
- Use good quality chocolate: The chocolate is the star of this recipe, so make sure you use a chocolate that you enjoy the taste of. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will give you a rich, chocolatey flavor, while a milk chocolate will be sweeter and creamier.
- Don't overcook the crust: The crust should be golden brown and just set, but not overcooked. If you overcook it, it will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from falling apart.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
