Spring Snickerdoodles

Ingredients - Spring Snickerdoodles (Taken from Something Swanky's White Chocolate Snickerdoodle Pudding Cookies)

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1 package (3.4 oz) white chocolate instant pudding mix

2 & 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 bag white chocolate m&ms

1/3 cup white chocolate chips

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 cup cinnamon sugar

Look at all that chocolate!  It's a miracle that the dough even makes it into the oven!

Preparation - Spring Snickerdoodles
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Cream the butter for 1-2 minutes, then add the sugar and cream for an additional 3-4 minutes.
3. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla, mixing after each addition.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, pudding mix, baking soda, and salt.  Add slowly to the butter mixture, and mix until combined.
5. Fold in the m&ms and white chocolate chips.
6. Using a cookie scoop, create small balls to roll in the cinnamon sugar.  Coat well.
7. Place dough balls onto a baking sheet, approximately 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. (In other words, try not to eat them before they are cool.  These are to die for while they are still warm and gooey!)
