Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup M&M candies

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Cream Butter and Sugar:
    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  • Add Pudding and Eggs:
    Beat in the vanilla pudding mix until fully incorporated. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients:
    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  • Fold in Chocolate Chips and M&Ms:
    Fold in the chocolate chips and M&M candies, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Scoop Dough:
    Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake:
    Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look slightly underbaked.
  • Cool:
    Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them, leaving them soft in the center.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain their softness.
