Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then add vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

Portion out 2 oz. of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly.

Press a handful of Autumn M&M’s into the tops of each cookie dough ball.

Bake for 9-11 minutes until edges are set but centers may appear slightly underbaked.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
