Taste Like Chewy Chips Ahoy Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is another recipe from Averie Cooks. They are good chocolate chip cookies that don't dry out! I did not chill the cookie dough like her recipe calls for and I made mine smaller (her batch made 20 cookies) and baked for less time. Downside, with the corn syrup, they taste a lot like Chips Ahoy cookies.

1 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 large egg
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 1/2 cups flour
12 oz chocolate chips (I used semi-sweet but milk would be good too)

Bake at 350 F for 10 minutes.

I think this made about 36 cookies.

Soft M&M Cookies

I was asked to make M&M cookies for a wedding reception and had never made any before. The recipe I found was a hit! I didn't love them warm but my kids loved the dough and I couldn't stop eating them for the next couple of days. They stayed soft and didn't dry out at all! Here is the link to the recipe from Averie Cooks. Here are my abridged instructions:

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1 1/4 cups flour
1/4 cup instant vanilla pudding (or 2 tsp cornstarch)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup M&Ms
OR
instead of that, I have added just milk chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips and PB chips.

Mix together, make into little balls and refrigerate at least 2 hours, up to 5 days. I have frozen some of the dough for a couple of weeks in a ziploc bag and they were just as delicious as the original batch. She says you can freeze them for up to 6 months.

Bake at 350 F for 10-11 minutes or until edges and top have set, even if they look slightly undercooked. Cool on baking sheet.
