Ingredients
- ½ cup salted butter room temperature (1 stick)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3.4 ounces vanilla pudding mix (1 box)
- 1½ teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1½ cups Christmas M&Ms
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until fluffy and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Mix in the eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract and beat together until combined, about 30 seconds.
- Add the all-purpose flour, pudding mix, baking soda, and salt, and beat on the low setting until just combined, about 30 seconds. Do not overbeat the flour. Make sure that there are no lumps in the baking soda.
- Fold the M&M's and chocolate chips into the dough.
- Scoop out cookies with a cookie scoop or spoon (I used a 2-inch cookie scoop) and place them onto the prepared baking sheet with about 2 inches between them.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies have set and turned golden.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
