Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups salted butter very soft
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 5 ¾ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 5.1 oz box instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 3 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 3 cups M&M mini work the best

Instructions
 

  • Soften your butter. You want it really soft, almost melted. Line your baking sheets with silicone liners or spray with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 350°.
  • In a Bosch or large bowl beat butter, sugars, and dry pudding mix for 2-4 minutes or until light and creamy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract. 
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; add to creamed mixture. Mix gently just till barely combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and M&Ms. 
  • Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough and roll into a ball. Repeat with all the dough. Place balls at least 2 inches apart on prepared baking pans. Press down slightly with your palm.
  • Bake 350 for about 12 minutes or until bottoms and edges are very lightly browned. Let sit on pans 3-4 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

You can make smaller cookies with just one tablespoon of dough. They will only need to bake for 8-9 minutes. Unless you want 88 cookies, cut the recipe in half and just use 6 Tbsp of pudding mix! :)
