Easy M&M Pumpkin Pudding Cookies with milk are a great after school snack for fall days. They also make a great midnight snack when you can't sleep.
Especially after I made these peanut butter pudding cookies, and then I have seen so many yummy combinations online lately. I have had pudding on the brain dreaming up combinations for a while now. I hope you are ready for pudding cookie mania!!!
What was I supposed to do when I saw the box of pumpkin pudding at the grocery store? 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. You need to try these vanilla pudding cookies and these chocolate mint pudding cookies.
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!!!
Soft, chewy M&M pumpkin pudding cookies made with fall colored candies are a must make this month!!!
These soft M&M Pumpkin Pudding Cookies are loaded with chocolate and candies. Perfect treat to go with a glass of milk! *If you cannot find the pumpkin pudding, use vanilla pudding with an extra teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice added.

Hello! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! I just tried them, but made a few changes (I used white chocolate chips instead of the M&Ms and I used cinnamon instead of the pumpkin spice, hubby's not a big pumpkin fan) and they came out SO GOOD!! You weren't kidding when you said they'd look undone coming out of the oven. I was tempted to put em back in - but I figured I'd follow the recipe! I'm glad I followed it the way you said, they came out delish! I even topped them with cream cheese icing to mask the pumpkin spice a little more. Wonderful! Thanks again for sharing!!!

I am so glad you liked them. Good call on not putting them back in the oven 🙂 I just love the texture of the cookie after it sets up. You could also substitute any flavor pudding in the future since your hubby doesn't like pumpkin.

Hi, Janel. I am so glad to hear you use the peanut butter cookie recipe. It's one of my favorites too 😉 For these cookies you could substitute a vanilla pudding mix with a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice in place of the pumpkin pudding if you can't find it. I hope that helps 🙂
Janel
Would that be an additional tsp. of pumpkin spice? Totaling 2 tsp. of pumpkin spice to the whole recipe? Thank you for such a speedy response.
Jocelyn Brubaker
Yes, I would add an additional teaspoon of the pumpkin pie spice because you don't have the pumpkin flavor from the pudding. I did just see pumpkin pudding at Walmart last week. And last year I bought it at Meijer...in case you wanted to keep looking for it.
Janel
I can't find the pumpkin pudding, but I did find pumpkin cake mix. How would I substitute it? Thanks these look delicious. I use your peanut butter m&m cookie recipe all the time.

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
Jocelyn
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.

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 🙂
Jocelyn
Yay! I am so glad you shared with me how much your family loved them. Thank you!!!!
Angela
What if I can't find pumpkin spice pudding, what can I supplement with?
Jocelyn
You can sub any flavor pudding for the pumpkin pudding. It will just change the flavor to whatever you use.

I always try a new recipe on Mondays...........this one is next! Thanks for sharing.:)

What a great idea to try a new recipe each week. I can't wait to hear what you think of these cookies:-)
