We took everyone’s favorite M&M’S® cookie and added lots of goodies to make them even more tender, sweet, and irresistible! This version is a scratch baker’s delight, but they’re easy enough for anyone—and quick enough that you can whip them up in practically no time at all. But what are the extras that make these cookies irresistibly delicious? First, our favorite secret weapon for making cookies tender and chewy with just one step: pudding mix. It makes just about any dough a little softer—and in our books, that’s a good reason to keep it on hand all the time! Second, red and green M&M'S® milk chocolate candies set the holiday scene, but also add a hit of chocolate and the crunch of the candy coating. And last but not least, for an extra-loaded cookie, we added vanilla baking chips. The combination results in a treat that’s familiar, yet extra special in looks and taste.
Heat oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed about 1 minute or until fluffy; scrape side of bowl. Beat in dry pudding mix. Beat in eggs, one at a time, just until smooth. Beat in vanilla. On low speed, gradually beat flour mixture into butter mixture until well blended. Stir in M&M'S® milk chocolate candies and white chips until blended.
For success in this recipe, the pudding mix is not prepared but added dry to the butter-sugar mixture.
Customize this cookie for any holiday by using other colors of the M&M'S® milk chocolate candies.
