These cookies will bring out the inner kid in anyone!
Ingredients
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 3 Tablespoons vanilla pudding mix
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 10 oz bag Mini M&Ms (find them on the baking aisle!)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silpats.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together (for 3-4 minutes) the butter, white, and brown sugar.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined, about 1 minute.
  4. Add in the sifted flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Using a spatula, fold in the chocolate chips and M&Ms.
  6. Use your hands or a medium cookie scoop to make 1” diameter balls out of the cookie dough. Place the balls about 2” apart on the baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  7. Let the cookies cool on their baking sheets before attempting to remove them. If you have wire racks, move the entire parchment sheet or silpat to a rack to allow for faster cooling. You may also need to use the baking sheets again for a second batch (don’t overcrowd your pans or else your cookies may bake and melt into each other!)
  8. Enjoy! (PS. Try one while they’re still warm, with a glass of milk for dunking!)
