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.
