Description

Get ready for the ultimate Halloween cookie mash-up! These soft and chewy pudding cookies are bursting with colorful M&Ms, spooky sprinkles, and googly candy eyes. With extra butter, double the batch, and a playful crunch from crushed pretzels, they’re the perfect sweet-meets-salty treat to feed a hungry horde!


Ingredients

Scale

1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened

1 ½ cups (300g) packed brown sugar

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 large eggs

2 boxes (3.4 oz each) Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix

1 tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

2 ½ cups (310g) all-purpose flour

½ cup Halloween sprinkles

1 ½ cups Halloween M&Ms (any flavor)

1 cup crushed mini pretzels (for a salty crunch – my twist)

Candy eyes (optional but fun!)


Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla.

Mix in dry pudding mix, baking soda, and salt until combined.

Gradually add flour and mix until smooth.

Fold in sprinkles, M&Ms, pretzel pieces, and candy eyes.

Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto baking sheet.

Bake for 10–12 minutes or until lightly golden and set.

Let cool 5 minutes on tray, then transfer to a wire rack.
