Why Add Pudding To Your Cookie Dough?

Adding instant pudding to your cookie dough is a simple trick to amp up the flavor, but also to keep the cookies soft.

Make sure you’re using instant pudding, not “cook and serve”. The coagulants in the “cook and serve” are different than the instant, containing a large amount of cornstarch. The texture will be altered and it won’t bake up as nicely.

I used regular old vanilla instant pudding… but you could really use any flavor you wanted to. Flavored pudding will add a nice subtle flavor to the cookies, like I did with my Butterscotch Apple Pudding Cookies.

  1. Followed the recipe exactly and found the dough to be on the dry side. Took out of the oven after 10 minutes to not let them over bake as directed, and found them to taste of raw baking soda and flour.






  2. I love this recipe, my neighbors give it a thumbs up as well. Instead of adding the sprinkles to the dough, I roll the balls in sprinkles. Since I make these during the Christmas season I also add a peppermint hershey kiss when they come out of the oven.
