Calories: 134kcal
Ingredients
- 2 sticks butter softened
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 3.4 ounces instant vanilla Jello pudding mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2¼ cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1½ - 2 cups white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare a 11x17 baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
- In a separate mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugars until smooth using an electric hand or stand mixer.
- Add the eggs and vanilla and continue to mix until smooth.
- Add the pudding package and mix for another minute until fully combined.
- Add dry ingredients to the pudding mixture and blend until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold in the chocolate chips and M&M’s, mixing evenly.
- Using a 1-2 inch cookie scoop, scoop each cookie compactly and roll in the palms of your hands, creating an even and round shape.
- Place each cookie dough ball on the baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Repeat until the sheet is full.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes.
- When done, allow the cookie to cool on the baking sheet for about 1 minute before transferring to a cooling rack. Serve immediately or when completely cooled.
Notes
Storage:
- To Store: Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- To Freeze: You can freeze the baked cookies in a freezer safe-container for up to 3 months. You can also freeze the cookie dough in an airtight container for up to 5 months. Allow the cookie dough to thaw in the refrigerator overnight before scooping and baking.
- Be sure to purchase instant pudding and not cook and serve pudding. Otherwise the mixture will not reach the consistency in which you need it to in order to set.
- DO NOT prepare the pudding mix. You will just use the dry pudding mix from the package.
- Be sure not to overbake these cookies too much. They will continue to cook on the pan when you take them out of the oven.
- The colors from the M&M’s may bleed onto the cookies while baking but they shouldn’t do this significantly. This won't affect the yummy taste!
