Instructions:

4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

8. Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the center looks set. The cookies may look slightly underbaked; this is normal as they will continue to cook on the sheets after being removed.

M&M Pudding Cookies

M&M Pudding Cookies are a delightful and chewy treat that combines the classic cookie with the richness of pudding mix, resulting in a soft and flavorful dessert. These cookies are loaded with colorful M&M candies, making them perfect for any holiday gathering or simply as a sweet snack. The pudding mix adds an extra layer of moisture and a unique taste that sets these cookies apart from traditional recipes.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cookie removal.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, instant vanilla pudding mix, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together on medium speed until fluffy and light in color, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, incorporate the vanilla extract until fully combined.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
6. Fold in M&M Candies: Gently fold in the M&M candies using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly dispersed throughout the cookie dough.
7. Scoop Cookie Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
8. Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will continue to set as they cool.
9. Cool the Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Enjoy: Once cooled, enjoy your soft and chewy M&M pudding cookies, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
