Superheroes come in all ages, shapes and sizes.
(Mine is 6ft. with red hair, and he loves M&M’S® candies!)
Even though he is quite content to sit back, relax, watch a great movie (like Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier), while munching on a bag of M&M’S®, every now and then, I like to make him him something a little more special to snack on. He does love chocolate chip cookies, so that’s easy enough. I just substitute Mini M&M’S® for the chocolate chips and he’s in noshing heaven.
We went to Walmart and picked up some M&M’S® a couple of weeks ago, along with the movie Captain America 2:The Winter Soldier.
While we were there we checked out the fun Marvel Retailment that was set up in the Bakery!
They had coloring sheets for the kids, along with their choice of cupcakes – everybody loves cupcakes!
We like to purchase DVD’s because my husband will watch a movie over and over and over again. I have a feeling that this one will be a recurring Friday Night – Stay at home Date , for a long time to come. So that the man can keep up his super strength, I have to keep his tummy full, so off to the kitchen to bake some cookies!
Superhero M&M’s Cookies
2 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp/ baking soda
1 1/2 sticks butter
3/4 cup brown sugar, tightly packed
1/4 cup white granulated sugar
1 small box instant vanilla pudding
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 bag of Mini M&M’S® Candies
In a large bowl, stir together the flour and baking soda – no need to sift.
In another large bowl, with your mixer on a medium speed. cream the butter and sugars. The secret to making great cookies, besides using quality ingredients – is to really cream the butter and sugar well! Add the dry pudding mix and continue to beat until everything is well blended. Add the eggs and the vanilla and keep on beating. Now, slowly (very slowly) add the flour/baking soda mixture.
If you didn’t add the flour slowly, stop and clean up the mess!
When everything is completely mixed, slowly add in the Mini M&M’S® either with your mixer on the lowest speed, or by hand (or if you like, use Plain or Peanut M&M’S®) Use a small scoop to make balls that are about 1″ in diameter. Place on a lined baking sheet ( I use a silicone mat, but parchment works well, too ) about an inch and a half or two inches apart. Bake in an oven that has been preheated to 35o degrees., for 9 – 11 minutes. In my oven 9minutes and 20 seconds bakes the perfect cookie. The cookies should be a light golden brown. Remove cookies from baking sheet and cool on wire racks.
These cookies stay fresh for days, and freeze well.
ENJOY with YOUR SUPERHEROES!

Thanks for sharing , We love cookies !!! 🙂
I have yet to see this movie!! My nieces would love to watch it! …These cookies look delicious too! I am saving the recipe! I cant wait to make them! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
I enjoyed reading your Superheroes Come in All Ages, Shapes & Sizes! My husband won’t sit and watch DVD’s with me! He would love to eat the cookies, however, he prefers sports rather than movies! So, when he’s “into” his sports and munching on one thing or another, I get on the computer and enter giveaways & Sweepstakes! I’m not hard to please! I do make an awful lot of chocolate chip cookies as well! He prefers them over the ones with the M&M’s in them! I have no idea why, because he can sit and eat a bag of M&M’s with no problem! Sometimes Superheroes are just plain confusing! Thanks for sharing your recipe with all of us! I may have to make me a batch tomorrow, because now you’ve made me hungry for them! Thanks again, Michele 🙂
Those look so yummy! My daughter would love them.

I’m such a sucker for M&Ms! I could totally go for some of those cookies right about now! Yum!
These sound delicious! I just happen to be in a cookie-baking mood today 😉
Mmm, that is my kind of cookie! My kids would think I was a real superhero for making those! I’d think that of myself too! lol
We love M&M’s and superheroes too! 🙂 Those cookies look delish.
Oooo, we’ll have to make these M&M cookies! My hubby loves superhero movies so I’m sure he’ll be picking this one up soon.
LOL my husband is that way with movies too! Myself I can only watch a movie once or twice but the second time has to be a long time after the first! I am very picky when it comes to movies. I laughed at Captain America as that is one of my hubby’s favs! We love M & M’s my hubby works for them and makes peanut M & M’s!! Those cookies look amazing!
Cookies with M & Ms always taste good because they’re so colorful. I love the candy crunch that comes with the M & Ms, too.
We’re superhero junkies in our house! Those cookies look delish too; Thanks for sharing the recipe! Making!
Those look delicious. Great movie choice too! Can’t wait for the next Captain America movie to come out.
Loving those cookies. Could you leave a plate at the back door? I will be right over.
Those cookies look amazing! I love they are from scratch too.
Love your final photos. Where did you get that background? Who can pass up M&M cookies? No one in my house. That’s for sure. We love Captain America here too!
I love to shop for backdrops at Swanky Prints, on ETSY!

Isn’t it funny how often we can watch a movie? My little brother would watch movies until he had parts of the movie memorized. Once we were all out at a laundromat and my brother had been watching a “Say No to Drugs” video (This was in the late ’80s, early 90’s) backwards and forwards. He then slapped his forehead in his palm and shook his head while saying “I gotta get off these drugs”. I swear everyone in that laundromat heard him and looked at my mom like she was worst parent in the world. I still laugh every time I tell someone that story. Funny as heck 20+ years later.
My husband watches movies over and over and over until I’m ready to scream if I hear it one more time !! I do like the cookie recipe and will be trying it. Thank you !!
Great movie pick and love the cookie recipe you have here, One of our favorite candy just happens to be M&M’s yum. We also enjoy making cookies and watching movies together.
The M&M cookies sound great and so does the family time.
They look good and I bet the kids would love them.
