Peanut Butter M&M’s Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup of softened butter
• 1 cup of creamy peanut butter
• 1 box of instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1 cup of brown sugar
• 1/4 cup of white sugar
• 2 large eggs
• A dash of salt
• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• Mini chocolate chips, to personal preference
• Peanut Butter M&M’s, as per your liking

Instructions

Initiate your baking process by preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C). Meanwhile, prepare a baking sheet by layering it with parchment paper or fitting it with a silicone baking mat.

In a spacious mixing bowl, blend the softened butter and peanut butter until it takes on a smooth and uniform consistency.

Incorporate the brown sugar, white sugar, and instant vanilla pudding mix into the buttery concoction. Stir until it achieves a creamy texture.

Introduce the eggs into the mixture sequentially, ensuring thorough blending after each egg’s entry.

In a different bowl, amalgamate the flour, salt, and baking soda by whisking them together. Progressively, mix the dry mixture with the wet ingredients, ceasing when it is just combined.

Integrate the mini chocolate chips and the desired quantity of Peanut Butter M&M’s into the cookie dough, adding a touch of sweet complexity.

Form the dough into small spheres and arrange them on your prepared baking sheet, providing a 2-inch separation between each. Imprint each dough ball with additional M&M’s to enhance their visual appeal.

Commit the cookies to the preheated oven for a duration of 8-10 minutes, or until their peripheries adopt a golden brown hue.

Upon their exit from the oven, allow the cookies a brief cooling period on the baking sheet before transitioning them to a wire rack for complete cooling.
