Recipe - Road Trip Cookies (Marcel Desaulniers)

2 One half cup Allpurpose flour
1 teaspoon Baking soda
One half teaspoon Salt
6 ounce Semisweet chocolate; chopped
into 1/4inch pieces
Three fourths cup Granulated sugar
Three fourths cup Tightly packed light brown
sugar
One fourth pound Room temperature unsalted
butter
2 lg Eggs
2 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
3 cup M&M's peanuts

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a sifter combine the flour, baking
soda and salt. Sift onto a large piece of wax paper and set aside until
needed. Heat 1 inch of water in the bottom half of a double boiler over
medium heat. With the heat on, place the semisweet chocolate in the top
half of the double boiler. Use a rubber spatula to stir the chocolate until
completely melted and smooth, about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a 1quart
bowl and set aside. Place the granulated sugar, light brown sugar and
butter in a 7quart bowl. Use a stiff rubber spatula (or a wooden spoon)
to cream the ingredients together until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla
extract and mix to incorporate. Add the melted chocolate and mix until
combined. Add the sifted dry ingredients and thoroughly combine. Add the
M&M's, mixing to incorporate. Using 3 heaping tablespoons of dough for
each cookie (approximately 3 ounces), portion 6 cookies, evenly spaced,
onto each of 3 nonstick baking sheets (this is a hefty cookie, so don't
crowd). Place the baking sheets on the top and center racks of the
preheated oven and bake for 14 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven
and cool to room temperature on the baking sheets, about 30 minutes. Store
the cooled cookies in a tightly sealed plastic container until ready to
serve.
