Name: Pain In The Neck Cookies
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup Butter, Softened; 1/2 cups White Sugar; 1/2 cups Brown Sugar; 2 whole Eggs; 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract; 2-1/4 cups Flour; 1 cup Quick Cooking Oats; 1 package (3.4 Oz. Package) Vanilla Instant Pudding; 1 teaspoon Baking Soda; 1/2 teaspoons Salt; 1 cup Malted Milk Balls (I.e. Whoppers); 3/4 cups Toffee Bits (I.e. SKOR Bits)

Servings: persons

1 cup Butter, Softened
1/2 cups White Sugar
1/2 cups Brown Sugar
2 whole Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2-1/4 cups Flour
1 cup Quick Cooking Oats
1 package (3.4 Oz. Package) Vanilla Instant Pudding
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1 cup Malted Milk Balls (I.e. Whoppers)
3/4 cups Toffee Bits (I.e. SKOR Bits)

1
Mix together butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla until the mixture has a smooth, creamy consistency. Mix dry ingredients together in another bowl, then add slowly. Leave the malted balls and toffee bits until last.
2
There are two ways to make this. If you want to 'drop' the cookies on the sheet, pre-cut the malted milk balls before mixing them in along with the toffee bits. If you would rather not spend your afternoon chopping these (heaven knows you'll eat half of them), mix in the uncut malted milk balls and toffee, roll the dough into snakes and freeze or refrigerate. When you cut the cookie dough, it will cut the malted milk balls.
3
Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Let them cool on the pan for 2 minutes before taking them off.
4
(If you like your cookies soft, add a piece of bread to your cookie jar. You'll have nice, soft cookies in the morning!)

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
