Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough
  • 150 g brown sugar packed
  • 113 g butter room temperature
  • 57 g margarine
  • 50 g granulated sugar
  • 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 g egg room temperature
  • 250 g all-purpose flour scooped lightly
  • 1 box instant vanilla pudding 3.4 ounce box, not cook & serve
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 135 g semi-sweet chocolate chips + more for after baking
  • 180 g white chocolate chips + more for after baking
  • 180 g Valentine M&M's divided

Equipment

  • Mixer
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. In a mixer bowl, beat the butter, margarine, sugar & brown sugar together until fluffy.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla – beat well.
  3. Add in the flour, pudding mix, baking soda, and salt – slowly stir first and then beat until all ingredients are completely incorporated.
  4. Slowly stir in chocolate & white chocolate chips.
  5. Fold in ½ of the M&M's.
  6. Remove the beater, cover, and refrigerate overnight (extremely important that you do this).
  7. The next day, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  8. Roll the dough into balls – it will be firm & you will need to press it all together.
  9. Place the dough balls on a lined baking sheet and bake the cookies for 9-12 minutes (mine were perfect at 11).
  10. Remove and immediately top each cookie with a few extra chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and M&M's before they cool.
  11. Leave cookies on baking sheet to cool.
  12. Repeat this process with remaining cookies.
  13. I used three ¾ baking sheets for all these cookies. It's important to not place dough on a hot cookie sheet. Start with a cold cookie sheet with each batch to ensure that the cookies bake consistently.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature. For a chewier texture, ensure to refrigerate the dough overnight as instructed.
