Chocolate M&M Cookies



Chocolate M&M Cookies

1/2 C soft butter
2/3 C sugar
1 egg yolk
2 T water
2 t vanilla extract

Beat together until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes) in stand mixer.  Set aside.

1 C flour
1/3 C baking cocoa
1/4 t salt

Combine in a separate bowl.  Add to butter mixture and mix completely.  Stir 1/2-3/4 C M&M candies into the batter.  Cover and chill one hour.  Shape dough into 1-inch balls.  Place 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheets. Gently press four extra M&M candies into the tops of each cookie.  Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.  Let cookies sit on baking sheets for 5 minutes and then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.  Makes 2 dozen cookies, perfect for a cookie exchange :)
