Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
- ¼ cup shortening
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 box instant vanilla pudding
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup M&M candy red and green
Instructions
- Cream butter, shortening and sugar in a medium bowl. Mix until they are light and fluffy.
- Add in eggs, vanilla, and instant pudding mix. Mix until thoroughly incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, stir the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture a little at a time. Mix in between additions until all the flour is combined.
- Preheat the air fryer at 350 degrees F for 3 minutes. Make sure you don't preheat with parchment paper inside.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to make tablespoon sized cookie dough balls.
- Flatten the cookie balls slightly with your fingers, pushing them down until they are about 1/2 inch thick.
- Lightly press 7-8 M&M candies on top of each of the balls of dough.
- Once preheated, add a piece of parchment paper to the air fryer basket. Place the cookies on the parchment paper, keeping them about 1 inch apart. Make multiple batches if necessary.
- Bake for 5-8 minutes or until set and golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool in the basket for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire baking rack to finish cooling.

- Freezing the Dough
- This dough freezes well. Divide it into 4-5 parts, wrap each tightly in plastic, and freeze. I can make 8-10 cookies per dough portion. Put the frozen cookie dough in the refrigerator the night before you plan to make it, and let it thaw.
