My husband Wayne walked up the stairs to the kitchen, saw the cookies cooling on the harvest table on a wire rack, and said, "Oh, you made cookies." After picking one up to eat, he said, "This is the second best cookie you have ever made after the Clinton Chips." I can't believe he still remembers those cookies. It has been quite a while since I made them. Guess I need to surprise him and make them and see if they are still his all-time favorite cookie.
In the meantime, you will just have to try his second favorite cookie. I love the name of these cookies and wish I knew why nine-year old Chelsea Humerickhouse called them that. I found the recipe in the Home Cooking With The Moyer Family cookbook. Chelsea's mother Cathy (Early) Soto compiled the recipes from the Moyer Family for the cookbook. I wish she had included a family tree to see the relationships of everyone who included recipes with William Edward Everett Moyer (6.8.1859 - 6.25.1930) and his wife Ellen Elizabeth Kochenower (10.11.1861 - ?)

PUDDLE JUMPERS
(CHOCOLATE COOKIES)
3/4 cups (1-1/2 sticks) butter, softened (room temperature)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 (10-ounce) bag candy coated M & M's (1-1/4 cups)
1/4 cup baking cocoa
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Stir butter, sugars, vanilla, and egg in a large bowl until mixed.
Stir in flour, cocoa, and baking soda.
Stir in candies.
Drop dough using a cookie scoop and place about 2 - inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until set.
Cool 1 minute before taking cookies off cookie sheet.
Made almost 5 dozen cookies.
Personal notes: Substitute Reece's Pieces for a peanut butter taste. The chocolate cookie is so delicious, you will want to try other substitutions if you don't want to use the M & M's. Store the cookies in an air tight container. If they get hard, place a slice of bread in the container to soften them.
