These chocolate cookies are filled with mini m&ms and milk chocolate chips… And I dipped the bottoms of them in melted milk chocolate because the more chocolate, the better, right? I used instant chocolate pudding in these cookies. You can use another flavor if you want. I used chocolate extract, but vanilla extract is fine as well.

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup sugar

Directions – cream butter, brown sugar and sugar. Add eggs, yolk, chocolate extract and pudding mix. Fold in flour, baking cocoa, baking soda and salt. Fold in m&ms and chips. Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough. Chill a couple of hours. Preheat oven to 350 for 20 minutes. Stagger on a cookie sheet lined with nonstick baking liners. Bake 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely. Microwave 1 cup of milk chocolate chips in 30 second increments until you can stir smooth. Spread on bottom of cookies.
