These cookies were so decadent and rich, I thought I'd eat all the batter and have no mix left to make the cookies (sadly I'm not kidding.) I followed this recipe exactly, except for the optional instant espresso powder. I also used black and orange M&M's as opposed to just orange ones, which I found harder to find. And when I did find them, they were twice the price as the black and orange ones.
The cookies were delicious, but they turned out a little flatter than I intended or expected. I think it might have something to do with the fact that when I added the dry ingredients to the wet ones, I had the standing mixer on high and about a half a cup of dry ingredients ended up in the air (and on my stove and floor). Maybe much of the baking powder and baking soda was in that half a cup, and that's why they turned out a little flat.
Otherwise, I loved how they turned out (and tasted) and I'd definitely make this recipe for any Halloween party or get together. It's also a fun and relatively simple recipe to make with kids.
I suggest pressing extra M&M's right onto the cookies too, so that the color really pops as opposed to just having them in the batter. This is definitely a Halloween recipe I'd recommend to anyone. Maybe adding a drop or two of black food dye would have made them a little spookier, but honestly, I think it's fine as is.
