Ingredients:
- 150 grams of soft butter
- 180 grams of light brown sugar
- 20 grams of white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 290 grams of flour
- 1/2 vanilla pod
- 100 grams of milk chocolate chips
- 100 grams of M&M’s
- Chocolate spread (for layering)
Instructions:
- Cookie Dough Preparation:
- Start by creaming the soft butter with both the brown and white sugars in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
- Crack the egg into the butter-sugar mixture and continue to mix until well incorporated.
- Scrape the seeds from the vanilla pod and add to the mix for a fragrant touch.
- Dough and Fillings:
- Gradually add the flour to the mixture, stirring until a thick cookie dough forms.
- Gently fold in the milk chocolate chips and M&M’s, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Layering the Cookies:
- In a baking dish, spread half of the cookie dough as the base layer.
- Spread a generous layer of chocolate spread over the base, then cover with the remaining cookie dough.
- Baking:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
- Bake the layered cookie in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set but still soft.
- Once out of the oven, sprinkle additional milk chocolate chips over the top while it’s still warm to melt slightly and stick to the surface.
Allow the cookie to cool slightly before slicing into squares or bars. This ensures that every piece has a beautifully defined layer of chocolate spread, making each bite a delightful mix of textures and flavors. Enjoy this ultimate cookie delight with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee for the perfect treat!
