M&M Valentine's Day Cookies

Don’t you just love it how right after one Holiday the stores already have all the products out for the next Holiday? Go out and find the Valentine’s Day  pink, white, and red M&M candies this week and make yourself a batch of these cookies. Just another excuse to make a Target run. 😉 You don’t need to have a significant other to make these for. Treat yourself.  

This chocolate chip cookie uses a secret ingredient to help give it even more flavor: dry instant vanilla pudding. Add in some colorful M&M's for different Holidays.

Ingredients for Valentine’s Day Cookies 

Flour , Baking Soda  - dry ingredients 

Instant Vanilla Pudding - this is the dry powder, not prepared aka known as the secret ingredient 

Butter - softened to room temperature 

Brown and White Sugar 

Egg - large 

Vanilla - for flavoring 

White Chocolate Chips - or regular chocolate chips 

M&M Candies - Look for Holiday colored M&M’s when the stores start to release the next Holiday. Target and Wal-mart should already have these out. 

How to make M&M Valentine’s Day Cookies 

For the full recipe please see the recipe card below. 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the flour and baking soda, set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Beat in the instant pudding mix until blended. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Blend in the flour mixture. Finally, stir in the M&M’s  and chocolate chips. Drop cookies by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.

    These look great! Just a question, is it a typo that the 1/4 cup of vanilla pudding mix is listed twice, or do you add 1/4 cup and then another 1/4 cup for a total of 1/2? Thanks! Looking forward to making them, just dont want to mess them up. Thanks.

    Hello! These cookies look amazing! Can you please add a description of the taste and texture? I can somewhat guess by the ingredients that they may be cakey or at least soft, yes? Going by the softened butter and pudding mix, anyway. 🙂
