10 tbsp (70 g) black cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups (336 g) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups (330 g) light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup (100 g) granulated white sugar

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream the butter with both sugars until light and fluffy.
Mix in the egg yolks and vanilla until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing until a dough forms.
Fold in the M&M’s and jimmies.
Scoop dough (about 2 tbsp each) onto the baking sheet, spacing them apart.
Press extra M&M’s, jimmies, and candy eyeballs on top.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are set but centers are still soft.
Cool on the pan for 5 mins, then transfer to a wire rack.
