Giant chunky Christmas NYC cookies with milk and dark chocolate chunks, M&Ms, a chocolate dip, and more! <\/h2>\n

Christmas NYC cookies!<\/h3>\n

Am I right in saying that I couldn’t safely resist baking a Christmas NYC cookie?! Because yeah that’s right. I may have done a few too many at this point, but I really don’t care… I am fully in the festive spirit and loving my cookie-filled life. <\/p>\n

I wanted to do a Christmas NYC cookie that goes a little over the top in comparison to my gingerbread NYC cookies<\/a> that we all know and love from last year – and take it up a notch – so you get these… a delicious vanilla cookie dough, stuffed with chocolate chips, M&Ms, AND dipped in chocolate! <\/p>\n

These beauties are without a doubt one of my favourite cookies I have ever done, and can you blame me?! Just look at how festive, fun and delicious they look!! The vanilla cookie dough colours, the chocolate, and all the red, white, and green! <\/p>\n

This is another one of those bakes that is awfully similar to my other cookies, but I am so in love with the theme I really don’t care. Something about the chocolate chips and M&Ms absolutely gets me. You can of course adapt the cookies and customise them in many ways… <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dry ingredients<\/h3>\n

In these cookies I used purely light brown soft sugar compared to my normal combination of light brown soft sugar and granulated sugar. You can use all white granulated sugar, this will just result in a light coloured cookie, or you can use dark brown soft sugar like in my gingerbread nyc cookies<\/a>, and get a darker cookie with a more caramel flavour. <\/p>\n

I use plain flour in my NYC cookies, with the addition of baking powder AND bicarbonate of soda. Baking powder and bicarbonate of soda are different products, and do different things. Baking powder actually contains a small amount of bicarbonate of soda, but they are not interchangeable.<\/p>\n

If you can’t use plain flour, you can use self raising flour – this requires you to remove the baking powder from the recipe, but still use the bicarbonate of soda. The end results of the cookies should be the same, but by habit, I always use the plain flour! <\/p>\n

Flavour<\/h3>\n

I left the flavouring of the dough to vanilla as I wanted what many would call a ‘plain’ dough. You don’t even have to include the vanilla if you don’t want to, but it is a very tasty addition.<\/p>\n

You could alternatively use orange<\/a> extract, lemon<\/a>, peppermint<\/a> etc – flavour them how you like. Sometimes when I make batches of these, I add a little peppermint as it married with the chocolate dripped park of the cookie perfectly!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Chocolate<\/h3>\n

I decided, just like my original chocolate chip NYC cookies<\/a> to use a combination of milk chocolate chunks<\/a> and dark chocolate chunks<\/a>, but that is up to you. I love the deeper colours and flavours of the chocolate with the green and red M&Ms… which I did definitely just pick out of sharing bags. <\/p>\n

There may be better ways to get red and green sweets, but I knew I would happily eat the other colours M&Ms… so that’s up to you if you join me. Other than M&Ms, you can use smarties, or other green and red chocolate sweets! It’s up to you. <\/p>\n

Decoration<\/h3>\n

I then decided because I wanted to go completely overboard with these Christmas NYC Cookies, was to dip the cookies in chocolate, kind of like my christmas pudding cookies<\/a>, and then sprinkle on some sprinkles.<\/p>\n

The contrast of the dark chocolate with the sprinkles looks really cute in my opinion, but you can use whatever chocolate you fancy to dip. I really hope you love this festive Christmas NYC Cookie recipe as much as I do! Enjoy!! x<\/p>\n
