Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and prep a 9×11 baking pan by buttering the pan and lining the parchment paper.
- Make Brownie Batter: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter and chocolate chips. Remove the saucepan from the heat until it is just melted.
- Remove from heat and whisk in sugar and eggs, one at a time. Pour into a medium bowl and mix in cocoa powder and salt. Next, add in flour and fold it into the batter with a spatula until the flour is fully mixed in.
- Make Cookie Dough: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set to the side.
- You can use a handheld electric mixer or a stand mixer. In a medium bowl or bowl of an electric mixer with paddle attachment, cream cold butter until soft and whipped. Add in sugars, mixing until combined and fluffy. Next, add in eggs and vanilla, and once again mix until combined.
- Add in half of the flour mixture into the creamed butter mixture and beat on medium speed until just combined. Add in the remaining flour mixture and mix in until just combined. Stir in M&M’s
- Pour the batter into the pan and spread it into an even layer. Spread clumps of cookie dough over the top of the brownie batter
- Place in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes until baked through. Use a toothpick or fork to test the doneness of the brownies. If your toothpick removes clean, the brownies are done. If not finished cooking, place back in the oven for 3-5 more minutes in increments.
- Remove from oven and let the brownies cool for 15-20 minutes. Slice and enjoy.
