Chocolate chip cookies are a classic, go-to favorite for any occasion. But have you ever tried the upgraded version of this beloved treat? We’re talking about this chocolate chip pudding cookie recipe. If you haven’t already heard about them, don’t worry, we’ll tell you all about them! Here’s your ultimate guide to chocolate chip pudding cookies.
What are Pudding Cookies?
Pudding cookies are a delicious treat that combines the rich flavors of chocolate chip cookies with a creamy pudding mix. They are typically served as an after-dinner treat or as a snack with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee.
What Makes Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies Different?
The secret ingredient that makes these cookies extra special is pudding mix! Adding pudding mix to cookie dough creates a softer, chewier texture with added flavor and moisture. This makes the cookie taste even more delicious than your standard chocolate chip cookie.
You can use any flavor of instant pudding mixes, like vanilla, cheesecake, or banana cream. It’s a great way to explore unique flavor combinations. And if you love chocolate chips in your cookies, adding a few extra ones won’t hurt either!

How to Store your Cookies
If you want to keep your chocolate chip pudding cookies fresh and delicious, there are a few simple storage tips that you can follow. The best way to store these cookies is in an airtight container or zip-top bag at room temperature. To prevent the cookies from getting stale, wait until they have cooled completely before transferring them to your storage container.
You can also place a piece of bread or an apple in the container to help keep your cookies soft and fresh. Alternatively, you can wrap each cookie in plastic and place them together in a zip-top bag. Avoid stacking your cookies on top of one another, as this can cause the cookies to crumble. Place a layer of parchment paper between them.
