Christmas Jumble Cookies

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips, melted, plus an additional 1/4 cup
2/3 cup coarsely chopped toasted salted cashews
2/3 cup coarsely chopped Oreos
1/2 cup Christmas M&M's

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat cookie sheets with cooking spray.

In a medium sized bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, using a mixer on medium speed, beat together butter and sugar until creamy, about 1 minute. Beat in vanilla and eggs until combined, about 1 minute; beat in melted chocolate chips until combined. Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in flour mixture until combined. Stir in remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips, cashews, Oreos, and M&M's until combined.

Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto cookie sheets, about an inch apart. Bake 12-13 minutes or until set. Cool 2 minutes before transferring cookies to wire racks to cool completely.

Makes about 2 1/2 dozen

  108. I would love to win the apron for my 78 year old mother who LOVES POM and tells a funny story about sneaking pomegranates into her desk during her school years, she would eat them with her desk lid up and never got caught!
    She likes to liven up the community where she lives, this would surely do the trick!

  114. well considering i usually get more batter on my shirt ( or in my belly! ) than the actual cookie sheet, this apron would be amazing. I also wanted to tell you that i made your ice cream cake for the first time for my bf birthday and it was amazing and he hasnt stopped raving about it to his friends! Thanks so much for all your recipes and commentary!
