white chocolate pudding m&m cookies
Soft and chewy white chocolate pudding cookies are the perfect compliment to the crunch of sweet milk chocolate M&M candies.
Happy almost Labor Day! Do you have any big plans this weekend? Life has continued on the path of extremely hectic this past month so my celebrations include doing absolutely nothing over the long weekend. But isn’t that what Labor Day is all about? Thankfully for you, there is always time for cookies and these cookies are delicious. Stop by an end of summer picnic with these and you’ll remain everyone’s favorite person well into fall.
I had been dying to try pudding cookies for a while and, just like I was promised, these have the perfect chew and a hint of flavor from the pudding. When I spotted the Hershey’s white chocolate instant pudding mix I just knew it would be a great compliment to the milk chocolate M&Ms in these cookies. The added pudding will leave your taste testers wondering what exactly makes these cookies so unique and delicious, but don’t worry, your secret is safe with me.
I’ll keep this short and sweet – this recipe did not disappoint! May you all have a chance to relax and enjoy the weekend and indulge in a sweet bite or two.
