Santa's Cookies (Double Chocolate Chip M&M Cookies)
Ingredients
3/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup brown
sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
2 cups flour
1 small
box instant vanilla pudding mix - dry, not prepared (one 3.4 ounce
box, it must be INSTANT - not cook and serve, etc)
1 teaspoon baking
soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup semi
sweet chocolate chips
1 cup white
chocolate chips
1 cup red
and green M&M candies
Instructions
In a large bowl, cream the
butter, brown sugar, and sugar for 1-2 minutes until fluffy. Add vanilla and
egg and mix well.
In another bowl whisk together
flour, vanilla pudding mix, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually mix dry ingredients
into wet ingredients until incorporated. Stir in most of the chocolate chips.
(Reserve a few chocolate chips and the M&Ms for later) Cover and chill for
at least one hour.
Preheat oven to 350. Very
lightly grease a baking sheet. (I lightly mist it with cooking spray, then wipe
it off with a paper towel) Roll about 3 tablespoons of cookie dough into a ball
(Should be about the size of a golf ball) and place on prepared baking sheet.
Gently press remaining chocolate chips and the M&Ms into the cookie dough
balls (this makes sure you can see the chips and the M&Ms after they
bake!).
Bake for 9-12 minutes until
cookies are set but still slightly underdone. Allow to cool for at least 10
minutes on the baking sheet. Transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling
completely. Store in airtight container at room temperature.
