Ingredients
- 2¼ cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp table salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened just to room temp
- ⅔ cups granulated sugar
- 3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding dry powder
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup M&M's your choice of colors, divided
- Sprinkles optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together well and set aside.
- In bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and sugar on medium high, until light and fluffy. Add pudding mix and beat until incorporated. Add eggs and vanilla extract, blending well.
- Slowly add in the flour mixture. Using rubber spatula, fold dry and wet ingredients together just until fully incorporated. Add the white chips and 1/2 cup M&Ms and mix into the dough. If it gets too hard to mix, use clean hands.
- Gently work in 3 TB sprinkles, taking care not to manipulate the dough too much, which may result in the bleeding of sprinkle colors.
- Dough will be a bit sticky. Cover tightly and chill in fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Form 1-inch balls* of dough and lightly press down on dough balls to form 1/2 inch rounds. Place 2 inches apart on baking sheet.
- Sprinkle on more of the colored sprinkles on top (or lightly roll cookie tops in a bowl of sprinkles.) Press on the remaining 1/2 cup of M&M's on top of each dough round.
- Bake about 8 minutes or just until edges look golden brown. Cookies may seem slightly underdone, but they will firm up upon cooling. Don't over bake.
- Cool on baking sheet about 10 minutes, and remove to wire rack to finish cooling.

- To ensure your M&M Christmas cookies have the perfect texture, don't overmix the dough; just stir until the flour is incorporated to keep them soft and chewy.
- Remember, the dough will be sticky before chilling, so don't skip the refrigeration step—it makes handling the dough easier and helps the cookies maintain their shape while baking.
- Love bigger cookies? Make 1.5-inch dough balls and flatten them slightly on the baking sheet; just remember to space them 2 inches apart and bake a bit longer until the edges are golden.
- Customize your cookies for any occasion by choosing M&M colors that match the theme—red and green for Christmas, pastels for Easter, or your favorite team's colors for game day.
