Chocolate M&M Cookies

I love chocolate cookies, and chocolate cookie dough. :) These cookies will not disappoint if you like soft cookies! And I won't blame you if you eat all of the cookies dough before any of it makes it into the oven.

There is vanilla pudding in the mix, which helps make these cookies soft and chewy instead of crunchy.

I use the brand Jello:

I generally get one of the larger boxes and put it in a Tupperware container, so I always have vanilla on hand when I make cookies and the vanilla doesn't go to waste.

We are kind of obsessed with our silpat in our home, and use it for cooking everything, especially cookies, if you don't have one I highly recommend them.

Chocolate M&M Cookies
Recipe by Prescriptions for a Happy Home

1/2 c softened butter
1 c sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt (unless using salted butter like I do. )
2 tablespoons vanilla pudding mix
1/2 c cocoa
1 1/4 flour

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1/2 cup mini M&Ms (regular would work too)

Cream sugar and butter together.. Mix in egg and vanilla. Then add baking soda, salt, vanilla. Slowly add cocoa and flour.

Cook on silpat mat at 350 for 8-10 minutes. Cookies will be soft but with solidify as they sit. Keep on cookie sheet for a couple of minutes.

These cookies only make a couple of dozen, since I have no self control. ;)

I generally make a couple at a time, and then store the dough in an air tight container in the fridge until I make the next batch. Warm cookies every time without becoming a hoarder. 

Enjoy!
