Fully Loaded Chocolate Cookies

With Christmas around the corner, these are the perfect little treat for the kids. It’s also doubles as a great recipe for cookie day. They’re really easy to make and taste oh soooooo yummy! So without further ado, here’s my fully loaded chocolate cookie recipe…

Step 1

Place the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl, and beat well to cream.

Step 2

Scrape down your mixing bowl, as sometimes the butter can accumulate on the sides, and add the eggs, mixing until well incorporated.

Step 3

Sift in the flour and salt and mix until it forms a soft dough.

Step 4

Add the *instant pudding powder, cocoa powder, marshmallows, M & M’s and baking powder, and mix until combined.

Step 5

*Instant Pudding Powder manufacturers: Moirs, Royal, Angel Delight, Jell-O & Dr. Oetker (from what I can find). In South Africa, I use Moirs instant pudding powder. They come in a 90g packet and are mixed with 450ml milk – BUT DON’T MIX IT WITH MILK FOR THIS RECIPE – USE THE POWDER ONLY!!! I’m just letting you know what the pack size and normal mixing instructions are, as manufacturers vary around the world.

Step 6

I know, for instance, that Angel Delight in the UK is a 59g packet to 300ml milk, so you’d need 1½ packets, while Jell-O in the USA is a 96g packet… hope this helps to make that a little clearer for recipe adjustments!

Step 7

This cookie dough can be frozen for up to six months, which is handy if you’re making multiple batches.

Step 8

Place the dough in the freezer for 10 minutes to get cold before making the cookies.

Step 9

To make the cookies, measure out tablespoonfuls of dough, roll into balls, and place on a baking sheet prepared with greased parchment paper. Place each ball in the center of a 6cm round cookie cutter, and press flat using the bottom of a glass. If you’re confused about this method, the video demonstrates exactly how it’s done!

Step 10

Place some extra M & M’s and marshmallows on top, fully loading these cookies.

Step 11

Place on the middle shelf in a pre-heated oven and bake at 180˚ Celsius or 360˚ Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.

Step 12

When they come out the oven, and they’re still hot, place extra marshmallow bits on top. Have fun!
