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.

Yes, that was a typo. Thanks for catching that.
Elaine says
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. 🙂
