M&Ms Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies

M&Ms Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies – soft and delicious cookies with chocolate chips and M&Ms! 

I would choose cake, a slice of pie, a handful of gummy bears, pretty much any other sweet over a cookie.

The exception to that rule is the one or 2 times a year when the only thing I can think about is grocery store bakery M&Ms cookies.

You know the ones, right?

They’re super soft and somehow every grocery store in the country makes them exactly the same way?

When I get a random craving for one of them, nothing fixes it but getting those cookies.

I can remember leaving my house in a snowstorm in Colorado because I needed these cookies to survive the day.

Fritos and grocery store bakery M&Ms cookies are the only things that I was ever willing to leave my house for during a snowstorm.

Ingredients for M&Ms Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies

• 1 ½ sticks butter
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup sugar
• 1 3.4 oz package instant vanilla pudding
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 ¼ cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

How To Make M&Ms Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies

• Preheat oven to 350F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Sift together flour and baking soda; set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
• Add in pudding mix and beat until well blended. Add eggs and vanilla.
• Add flour mixture slowly until well incorporated.
• Use a rubber spatula to fold in chocolate chips and M&Ms. Take heaping tablespoonfuls of dough, roll into balls, and place on prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches space between each one.
• Bake at 350F for 8-12 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through, until light golden brown.
• Let cool on baking sheet for about 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Repeat with remaining dough.

How Long Are Pudding Cookies Good For?

Pudding cookies are up for up to 4 days when stored at room temperature in an airtight container. I love storing my cookies in this airtight glass jar because it looks super cute and inviting AND keeps the cookies fresh.

Can You Freeze Pudding Cookies?

Yes, you can freeze these cookies for up to 3 months. I recommend wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap and then putting them in a freezer ziploc bag.
