Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 box (3.4 ounces) Instant Vanilla pudding mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup plain M&M’s candies
Instructions
- Preheat and mix wet ingredients: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, instant vanilla pudding mix, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
- Add dry ingredients and mix: Gradually add the all-purpose flour and baking soda to the wet mixture. Beat on low speed until just combined to avoid overmixing. Then, gently fold in the white chocolate chips and M&M’s with a spatula or spoon.
- Form and bake cookies: Drop the cookie dough by 2-tablespoon portions onto greased cookie sheets, spacing them well apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. The cookies may look slightly underbaked, but resist the urge to bake longer to maintain their soft texture.
- Cool and serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them rest and cool on the cookie sheets; no need to transfer to wire racks. Serve these delicious cookies with a glass of milk and enjoy!
Notes
- Do not overbake the cookies; removing them at 10 minutes ensures a soft, chewy texture.
- Instant vanilla pudding mix adds moisture and keeps the cookies tender.
- If desired, you can substitute plain M&M’s with peanut M&M’s or other chocolate candies to customize flavor.
- Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
- These cookies keep well stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
