1 stick Unsalted Butter, Slightly Softened
1/2 cups Granulated Sugar
1/2 cups Brown Sugar
1 whole Egg
2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
1 cup All-purpose Flour
1/2 cups Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1 teaspoon Instant Espresso Powder
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/4 teaspoons Salt
1 cup M&Ms, Divided

1
Preheat oven to 350 F.
2
In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugars for several minutes, until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, beat until combined.
3
In a separate bowl whisk flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking soda and salt. Add dry ingredients into the butter mixture and beat until just combined. With a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, stir in half of the M&M's.
4
Drop dough by the heaping tablespoon (I used a 1 1/2 tablespoon-sized scoop) onto greased or parchment paper lined cookie sheets, leaving a couple inches in between each to allow for spreading.
5
Lightly press the remaining M&M's onto the tops of the dough mounds. Bake for 9-11 minutes until the cookies are just barely done around the edges and slightly soft in the center. Remove pans from oven and set on a rack. Allow cookies to completely cool on the baking sheet.
