Twelve Days of Christmas Cookies: Chocolate Pudding Christmas M&M Cookies
DAY 8: Chocolate Pudding Christmas M&M Cookies
Dark chocolate cookies filled with milk chocolate m&m’s: always a crowd pleaser. And simple to make. Chocolate fudge pudding makes the dough especially rich and delicious.
I usually like to use the mini baking m&m’s; they do not bleed as much into the dough. But you can also change the flavor profile by trying one of the multitude of m&m’s flavors that are available at Christmas time.

Twelve Days of Christmas Cookies: Christmas Funfetti Pudding Cookies
DAY 7: Christmas Funfetti Pudding Cookies
Another experiment adding pudding mix to a cookie dough. This festive cookie has vanilla pudding added, along with white chocolate chips and Christmas sprinkles.
NOTE: Be cautious when baking with sprinkles. Some are made to hold their shape when baking, but some melt and dissolve when heated. Unfortunately, sprinkle makers do not always label them as such. If you are unsure, make a test cookie: Remove one scoop of dough from batter before stirring in the sprinkles. Mix about 1/2 tsp of sprinkles into that ball of dough and bake.
If I have extra sprinkles at the end of my baking, I always mark the container so that I know whether they can be baked or not.

Twelve Days of Christmas Cookies: Peanut Butter Paw Prints
DAY 5: Peanut Butter Paw Prints
These are fun cookies to make with kids. Use regular-sized chocolate chips for the small pads of the pawprint, and larger chocolate disks (I used dark chocolate melting chocolate wafers) for the large pad.
Use a very small cookie scoop (or make 1” balls) so that the paw print pattern covers most of the cooked cookie.
These cookies are made from a peanut butter cookie dough. If you want a nut-free cookie base, try this recipe:
For a more anatomically correct bear paw print, you should use 5 small chocolate chips, but I thought that looked too crowded, so I stuck with 3. For puppy paw prints, use 4 small chocolate chips.
