Hope these bring you luck
Cookies have been and will likely always be my favorite thing to bake. I imagine my favoritism largely has something to due with the fact that cookies are one of my favorite things to eat. In addition they are easy, versatile, and always a crowd-pleaser. All these reasons are why I chose to use my green M&M's in a cookie. I had considered making a cake or brownies for St. Patrick's day, but in the end I went with cookies. I used my traditional chocolate chip cookie recipe and jut replaced half the chocolate chips with M&M's. You could definitely make these with any of the Holiday M&M's or you could just use regular M&M's because they are so good there is no need to wait for a holiday. If you do choose to make these cookies tonight or tomorrow for St. Patrick's day, I assure you they go well with beer :)
M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 1/4 cup M&M candies
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking soda, salt, package of vanilla pudding mix, and dash of cinnamon. In a second larger bowl beat together the butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Slowly beat in the flour mixture until smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips and M&M's. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire rack. Recipe makes between 4 and 5 dozen cookies.

Yum! Cookies are my favorite to bake and eat too. These looks delicious and festive!
I've never used a pudding mix in chocolate chip cookies before, very cool!
They look really tasty (and of course fun because they have green, haha)!
Absolutely gorgeous! Please tell me you found a source for all-green m&m's - I hate to think you had to pick all the green ones out by hand :)
Have you ever tried the new york times' "best chocolate chip cookie" recipe that was going around last year (they rest in the fridge for 3 days before baking)? I'm wondering how these compare. Only one way to find out I guess - I'll have to whip up a batch of yours and see. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hi KT, I found a bag of Green M&M's with the Valentine's Day Candy and saved them just for this occasion. I have never tried the NYT recipe for chocolate chip cookies. I would love to hear how mine compare if you make them.
You know if you offered my a cookie I'd like it and want another but I never make them. I much prefer to make them into bars. I think it's laziness.
I looked for green M&M's but couldn't find any! I even went to 3 stores thinking to (finally) make cookies for Babygirl's class. :-(
Happy St. Paddy's Day!

So, this probably comes as no surprise to you, but (1) I love adding pudding mix to my cookies, and (2) cookies are by far my favorite to bake, too. Yes, you already knew all of this, so I guess I'm being redundant. What else can I say? Your cookies look so fabulous. You've totally made me want to go bake up a batch right now. Happy St. Patty's Day!!
I like the green m&m's in those cookies!
These are awesome!
Mmm, these cookies are still taunting me. Stupid wills & trusts exam(can we talk about a depressing area of law?) tomorrow...otherwise, I'd be in the kitchen making these. I'm from the east coast--from Atlanta, then went to undergrad at UNC, so long story short, a bunch of my friends are now in D.C. (even though I'm far away on the West Coast). I think we definitely need to get together and bake! I try to come visit "the east" a few times a year, at least! It would be a dangerous thing letting the two of us forage for food together. And, hey, you know you're always welcome in Berkeley/San Fran, if you ever get the itch to head west!
Love the green M and M's! I am craving cookies now!
Green M&Ms for St. Pat's is a great idea! Thanks!
Ahhhh!!! Another choc chip cookie recipe with pudding mix! It has been my "secret ingredient" for a long time. Your recipe is a little different than mine; I will have to try it.
lol! festive cookies! cool! if I were the one baking though, there would be no more m n m's left!
btw, I live in the DC metro area, too!
Love these! So cute! I am bookmarking this recipe to try - the pudding intrigues me :)
You can buy single color M&M's from their website. You can also order them with personalized sayings. We ordered them for my Daughter's Birthday, and used them as favors. I'm going to try this recipe today, wish me luck!
