Perfect M&M Cookies

When I saw this recipe on Pinterest I just knew I had to make them.  I found the mini M&M's at the store and I was ready to bake.  I think you will really like these cookies.  They are very easy to throw together and bake.  It probably would be best to use the mini M&M's if you can find them.

There is my secret ingredient from my regular chocolate chip cookies.  I guess it isn't so secret since I found it in this recipe too.

Start with 1 stick of butter that is softened.  Beat well.

Add 1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

Mix well.

Add an egg.

Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Add 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

3 Tablespoons Instant vanilla pudding mix. I put the whole package in.

3/4 cup mini chocolate chips

1 1/2 cups mini M&M's.  There were a few left in the bag for snacking.

You will have to fold these in by hand.  Mix well.

I used a small cookie scoop to dip up the dough.  Place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.  Place in a preheated 350 oven.  Bake for about 10-12 minutes.  Keep an eye on them. Let them rest on the cookie sheet for about 10 after they come out of the oven.

Warm from the oven.  They smell good too.

Enjoy!
