MAKELL'S MIRACLE
TOFFEE M&M COOKIES!
My Official Go-To Cookie from now on! Seriously, this is the PERFECT....no, really....the PERFECT cookie recipe... you know, if you are into soft, chewy cookies!
I've decided that 2 things make this special - the pudding and the Toffee Bits. Why, you ask? The pudding makes them ridiculously soft and chewy and the toffee bits give it that extra salt that livens up your senses! SO. GOOD.
Preheat oven to 375'F.
In a mixer, beat together with paddle attachment:
- 1 c. butter, softened/room temp
- 3/4 c. sugar
- 3/4 c. brown sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Once beaten, add eggs 1 at a time:
- 2 eggs
In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients and add slowly to the wet ingredients in the mixer:
- 2 1/4 c. flour
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 large package dry instant vanilla pudding mix - yes, it must be instant, not cook & serve. We learned the hard way...
Add deliciousness...
- 1 c. Health Toffee Bits (buy next to the chocolate chip bags on the baking isle.)
- 2 cups semi-sweet chips >>> (OR 1 cup semi-sweet and...
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips >>> (2 cups milk chocolate M&Ms)
Place in large rounded drops on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 375'F until just golden brown - DO NOT OVERBAKE! Let them cool on the pan before eating :-)
