How to Make Chocolate chip M&M cookies

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, and both sugars until smooth. Beat in the pudding mix until well blended. Add vanilla and beat in one egg at a time.

In a separate bowl, lightly whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add the flour mixture 1 cup at a time into the butter mixture. Then stir in the chocolate chips and M&M’s.

Refrigerate dough for 1 hour. This will keep the dough from spreading out while baking.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use a cookie dough scoop or spoon to scoop the dough onto the cookie sheet. Bake for 9-10 minutes, until the edges are lightly brown. Let the cookies sit on the cookie sheet for 2-3 minutes and then place on a cooling rack.

Tips & Tricks

Refrigerate the Dough: Don’t skip this step! Chilling the dough for an hour helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
Measure Flour Accurately: Over-measuring flour can lead to dry cookies. Use the spoon-and-level method for best results.
Don’t Overbake: The cookies may look slightly underdone when you remove them from the oven, but they’ll continue to set as they cool.
Mix Gently: When adding the M&M’s and sprinkles, fold them in gently to avoid crushing the candies.
Use Parchment Paper: This keeps the cookies from sticking to the baking sheet and makes cleanup a breeze.
