M & M Cookies

A few weeks ago (2 days after Easter to be exact) I bought Easter candy for 50-70% off. Perfect for trying out new types of cookies!

So I tried out Peanut Butter M&M's and Pretzel M&M's cookies. I used my basic go to recipe that is DELICIOUS!

Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

Created by Me 

Ingredients:

1 cup + 2 tablespoons of softened butter

1/2 cup white sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 box (3.4oz) Vanilla pudding mix

2 eggs

1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

2 1/4 cup of flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 cups (1 package) milk chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 325

Beat together butter, white sugar and brown sugar. I usually let mine go for a couple of minutes.

Add in eggs and vanilla, beat for a minute or two 

           (I like to think longer is better because it gets air in there. Of course I have no idea)

Add in vanilla pudding and beat a little longer

Slowly add in flour and baking soda

Mix until fully Incorporated

Here you would add the chocolate chips, but This time I divided the dough in half, peanut butter m&m's in half and pretzel m&m's in the other half

Scoop onto greased baking sheets. I use a cookie scooper thing (pretty sure that's the technical name)

Bake for 10 - 12 minutes - I did 12 because its a lower temp. 

Both cookies turned out delicious and were all gone within a day! I really liked the pretzel version, but you have to let them cool all the way or the pretzel part is soggy. Its a great way to get rid of extra candy you have laying around, or buy on clearance like me!
