- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.

- Add egg and vanilla in separate additions and beat until well incorporated.
- Add flour mixture and beat just until combined.
- Gently fold in m&m's.
- Place 2-tablespoon size portions, about 2 inches apart, onto prepared cookie sheets. I used a #30 portion scoop.**
- Add a few more m&m's to the top of each cookie.
