1teaspoonbaking soda
1teaspoonkosher salt
1cupmini chocolate chips
2-3cupsM and M’s
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line a large baking sheet with a silpat liner or parchment paper. (I admit that I don’t do this — I just grease the cookie sheets.)
In a large mixing bowl cream your butter and sugars until well combined. Add your egg and vanilla. Mix to combine.
Add your flour, pudding mix, baking soda and salt, stirring to combine. Add chocolate chips and M&Ms, stirring to combine.
4a. If baking right away: Scoop your dough onto cookie sheet leaving some room between them. Top each cookie with a few more M&Ms. Bake for 10-12 minutes until cooked through. Let cool on cookie sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to cooling rack. Enjoy!
4b. If freezing to bake later: Scoop your dough onto cookie sheet as close as you can without touching. Top each cookie with a few more M&Ms. Freeze on cookie sheet for a few hours. Then pop into a freezer-safe baggie. To cook the frozen dough, increase baking time to around 12 minutes. Enjoy!
