Santa's Favorite Cookie

Not only will these be Santa's favorite cookies but I bet they will be yours too. These cookies though could be changed to be the Easter bunny's too.  You can tailor these cookies to whatever colors you would like.  They could become birthday cookies too.

These are such colorful cookies.

I really thought these M&M's were holiday ones but they weren't.  Which is okay.

1 stick softened butter.

3/4 cup brown sugar. Mix until fluffy.

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 pkg Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix-not sugar free Mix well.

1 1/4 cup all purpose flour Add a little at a time.

3/4 cup Christmas M&M's  I used the mini M&M's but you can use full sized ones.

1/4 cup red and green sprinkles  See how easy it is to change the colors.

Look at that pretty batter.

Scoop them out. This is going to the freezer.  For baking preheat your oven to 350.  Bake for 9-11 minutes.

These are such good little cookies.  Keep this recipe close year round.
