Dark Chocolate M & M Sprinkle Cookies

I love that M & M's come in so many different flavors now. My favorite is dark chocolate.  Now they need to make a dark chocolate peanut version. These cookies would put anyone in a good mood.  Sprinkles and M & M's in one cookie is perfection. We will be celebrating a 30th birthday this weekend with my niece who is over 8 months pregnant and will be having a beautiful baby girl very soon.  These cookies were adapted from back of the package of M & M's.  Enjoy your weekend!!  

Ingredients:
2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2-1/4 cups flour
1-1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 12 oz package dark chocolate M & M's
1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl mix butter with both sugars until combined.  Add egg and vanilla and mix well.
Slowly add flour, baking soda and salt and stir until all ingredients are combined.
Fold in 12 oz bag of dark chocolate M & M's and sprinkles.  Chill for at least 30 minutes.

Drop dough by tablespoons onto greased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.  Bake for 8 minutes for chewy cookies or 10-12 minutes for crispy cookies.

Enjoy!!
