These are not peanut butter cookies with m&ms. These are pudding cookies with peanut butter m&ms. Peanut butter m&ms are one of my favorite candies in the whole world. They are a perfect mix of chocolate and peanut butter, with that crispy hard shell. Delicious.
And m&m cookies are perfection too. I seriously love seeing those bright colors throughout the cookie. So much better than a plain chocolate chip cookie, am I right? Well peanut butter m&ms just take them to the next level, giving these already perfect cookies even more perfection.
Little bits of peanut butter and chocolate and crispy shell in the middle of a delicious vanilla-ey perfectly soft cookie.
Have I convinced you how perfect these cookies are yet? Seriously my new favorite! This recipe is inspired by Picky Palate.

can I use regular m&ms as I am allergic to peanut butter?
Aimee says
Yes of course!!
Marilyn says
Can I use instant pudding?
Aimee Berrett says
That’s exactly what I use. Don’t prepare the pudding, just use the dry mix!
