Chocolate Chip Orange M&M Cookies Dipped In Chocolate

CHOCOLATE CHIP ORANGE M&M COOKIES DIPPED IN CHOCOLATE!
How delicious do these sound?
A couple of weeks ago, I talked about Christmas stockings, and how when we were kids, Mom (who LOVES orange and chocolate) and Daddy always put an orange or tangerine in ours. To me, that citrus scent IS Christmas! So..when I was in Walmart a few weeks ago, and I found these Orange M&Ms, I knew I had to make M&M cookies. Earlier this year I made Raspberry M&M cookies 
and Pistachio Chocolate Chip Pecan Coconut M&M Cookie Cups. I kinda like M&Ms!  
So today, I asked my sweet hubby and father-in-law to taste test these. 
They both loved them..like I said, they're sweet!
You know it's gonna be yummy when you start with brown sugar!

You can eat them plain....
Chocolate Chip Orange M&M Cookies Recipe
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick butter softened ( I use salted..I LOVE salt!)
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon orange extract 
2 large eggs
1 bag (9.9 oz) milk chocolate orange M&Ms
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
In separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt.
With mixer, beat butter, sugars and flavorings till creamy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Gradually mix in flour mixture, blending well. 
Stir in M&Ms and chocolate chips. Chill dough. Bake @ 350 10-12 minutes. ( I always use parchment paper) Let cookies cool completely. Melt your favorite dipping chocolate. Now, DIP SOME COOKIES!
*Tip* I always have a little chocolate left over when I'm dipping. I take advantage of this to dip anything I have in the pantry..just for fun. Today I dipped some roasted and salted cashews..Yummmmm!
