Vanilla Pudding M&M Cookies

There are many wonderful blessings that come from being a Momma to six children.  Listening to their annoying music is not one of them.

I’m sure you are well aware of the song, “The Fox” by Ylvis.  (If not, remember, I warned you before you click over to listen to it).  While all my kids enjoy the song, my three year old is obsessed with it.  It is on constant replay when she uses the iPad, she sings it no matter what else she is doing (playing, eating, peeing, going to bed….) plus insists that I dance along with her anytime she hears it.  There is no escaping.

My real problem with this song is the fact that it gets stuck in my head for days on end and drives me insane!  Back when my oldest was three, it was all those poke-your-eyes-out Barney songs that would loop around endlessly in my head.  I haven’t decided yet which is worse.

Instructions

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugars until well combined.  Add the egg and vanilla and beat again.  Add flour, pudding mix, baking soda, and salt.  Mix until it comes together into a batter.  It will start of dry and crumbly, but keep mixing!  Add the chocolate chips and M&M’s then stir them in gently.
2.  Evenly portion the dough onto the trays.  I used a small cookie scoop, but will try a larger one next time for bigger cookies!  Bake for 10 minutes or until the cookies are just beginning to lightly brown on the edges.  Do not overcook!  Let the cookies cool for 8 minutes before removing them from the cookie sheet.
