Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a stand mixer, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in the vanilla extract, egg, and water (or coffee) until well combined.
Blend in the cocoa powder and pudding mix until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined.
Fold in the M&Ms gently.
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls onto prepared cookie sheets, pressing extra M&Ms on top.
Bake for 10–14 minutes until slightly underdone but set; cool on sheets for five minutes before transferring to wire racks.
