Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (1 stick)
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/8 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup M&M’S
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Directions:

Combine the butter, sugars, egg, vanilla, and beat on medium-high speed until creamed and well combined, about 4 minutes. Add the flour, pudding mix, baking soda, salt, and beat on low speed until just combined, about 1 minute. Add the M&M’S, chocolate chips, and beat on low speed until just combined, about 30 seconds. Refrigerate dough for at least 3 hours. Using a large cookie scoop, form approximately 11 equal-sized mounds of dough, roll into balls, and flatten slightly. Tip – Strategically place a few M&M’S, chocolate chips, and sprinkles on top of each mound of dough for a nice pop of color. Preheat oven to 350F and bake for about 11 to 13 minutes.
