M&M Pumpkin Pudding Cookies

Well, it was bound to happen again…
Chocolate Chip cookies made with a pudding mix
I had to make more pudding cookies.

Especially after I made the peanut butter pudding ones,
and after I have seen so many yummy combinations online lately.
Seriously…Maria, Nikki, and Ashton made me do it:-)

I have had pudding on the brain dreaming up combinations for a while now.

What was I supposed to do when I saw the box of pumpkin pudding at Meijer?
Make pudding and eat it?

Of course not…my first thought was to make it into yummy cookies:-)
Because if you have not tried pudding cookies, then you are missing out.
They are soft and chewy and basically addicting, no matter what the flavor.
It is my favorite way to make cookies right now, along with the cake mix cookies.

Yes, I may have bought a few different pudding flavors,
and yes, I may have made 3-4 different kinds in the last 2 months.

I’m just warning you there is a pudding obsession happening here, so be prepared.
I promise to spread them out though…
so the obsession isn’t quite so recognizable!!!

Lucky for me, my son needed a dessert kind of a snack this week…
for get this…National Punctuation Day!
Apparently this was a “real” holiday on Monday…I don’t know…
Yeah, I had never heard of it either…but I’m all for celebrating any day with cookies.
Especially soft, chewy pudding cookies made with Fall colored M&M’s!!!
You need to try these for sure:-)

  22. What if I can’t find pumpkin spice pudding, what can I supplement with?

  23. I don’t normally post about the recipes, but these are amazing!! My husband, who’s not a pumpkin fan, was skeptical at first, but ate too many already. My son, who’s pretty picky about new stuff, loves them too. My new fall favorite :)

    Dumb question but what does it mean if my cookies didn’t spread out? I baked them but they just stayed I’m somewhat of a ball shape. I dont know if it matters but used a Pampered Chef stone to bake on.

    Thanks. Andrea

    • Hi, Andrea. You have me stumped with this one. I have made them several times and never had them stay in a ball shape. One question, did you preheat your stone before you baked on it? The baking stone would be my only guess at why they didn’t turn out. I hope you will give the recipe another chance and try again.

  25. These are awesome I made a batch for the soldiers!!! I know they will love them ♥
