Pokies

There is a little bakery near my house that makes the best cookies. And when I say little, I mean TINY – it fits one, maybe two people at once and honestly that’s it.

But they make great cookies and one of my favorites is called the Pokie. It’s really just a chocolate chip cookie that has chocolate chips and m&ms, but they are soooo good. So I decided to make some for myself. Mine are a bit smaller than the ones they make…but yours don’t have to be.

Ingredients

1 1/8 c flour
½ t baking soda
½ t salt
½ cup butter, softened to room temperature
6 T cup granulated sugar
6 T cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 t vanilla
3/4 cup, semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup m&ms

Directions

Whisk together all the dry ingredients – from the flour to the brown sugar. Next add in the butter, egg and vanilla and mix again until everything is well blended. Finally, add in the chips and m&ms and stir with a wooden spoon until they’re evenly distributed.

Refrigerate the dough for about an hour.

When you’re ready to bake, roll the dough into balls of dough slightly larger than a golf ball. Place the dough onto cookie sheets lined with parchment paper, 3 to a sheet. Bake at 350 for about 8 minutes, or until they get that nice golden brown color.
