Given my fanatical obsession with all things involving sugar, you’d think I would have been all over this crazy Pudding Cookie recipe that’s been trending this year. But, truth be told, this is the first pudding cookie recipe I’ve tried!
And I’m happy to report: not disappointed. I decided to make a white chocolate snickerdoodle version, being that it’s one of my favorite cookie flavors (second only to the classic chocolate chip cookie).
They received rave reviews from my husband’s work… and from my own tummy 
Hope you enjoy these as much as we did!
White Chocolate Snickerdoodle Pudding Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3.4 oz. package white chocolate instant pudding mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/3 c. cinnamon sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º. Prepare baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars.
- Add eggs first, and mix in, then add remaining ingredients (reserving the cinnamon sugar). Mix well.
- Scoop out with a cookie scooper (about 3 tbsp. worth) and roll the dough ball in the cinnamon sugar, coating completely.
- Place on baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for approximately 10 minutes, until slightly golden and just set in the middle. Let cool on baking sheet.

My mom and I have recently discovered the “pudding” cookies, and I have to say that this one is my absolute favorite so far! I can’t beleive a simple recipe like this has been around all this time and I’ve never heard of it! For this one, I used half white chocolate chips & half cinnamon chips – It was perfect! Thank you!
Just to make sure, I put 3 packages of pudding mix in, right? Also, can I use a hand mixer instead? I don’t have a stand mixer. This recipe looks delicious!!
No, I’m sorry for the confusion. You use ONE 3.4 ounce package of pudding mix (that’s the smaller box).
YUM!!! Just pinned!
couldn’t find white chocolate pudding and vanilla be used instead….and is it 3 3.4 boes of pudding or just 1 3.4 box…
thanks
Bonnie
Just one 3.4 oz box
Can you tell me what the yield is on this? I am needing a certain amount and am unsure of how large/small to make the dough balls and/or should I double the recipe. Thanks!
I scoop by the tablespoon and get approximately 4 dozen (and I’m approximating low, just in case)
We are having a ice storm here in Iowa so it was a perfect day to make cookies…these are the cookies I choose. So so good! I will make again!
These look delish! I’m using colored sugar to roll in so they can be “king cake” cookies, so much more parade-friendly than a huge cake.
I just made these, and I have to say that they are so easy to make and absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Can you use regular pudding instead of instant?

I don’t know! Maybe it’s worth a try?
I think I’ll try! LOL! Snowstorm on Thursday, why not?

I think I just fell in love…loving the blog
Thank you so much!
Do these come out crunchy or soft? I’m a soft cookie lover myself.
So soft!
Hello!
These look absolutely delicious! I showed the picture to my husband, and have now been requested to make these which I am not sad about at all!! Question: I only have a hand mixer. Do you think these will still turn out as delicious?
THanks!
I think they’ll be just fine with a hand mixer. YOu may need to switch to a wooden spoon after the first cup or so of flour, but other than that, you should be ok
I made these last night and they were fantastic! My husband has officially named these his favorite dessert! Thanks so much for the post!
Made these the other night and they were absolutely delicious! So warm and they are still so chewy and yummy! A keeper for sure!
I just finished making these! I used vanilla flavored pudding. The dough was very stiff, perfect for rolling into balls. They are very tasty!
Do I actually make the pudding first? Or just put the powdered mix in? Thanks
Just put the powdered mix in
They are super yummy. However, they didn’t spread very much, so I had to pat them down before baking them. I also used 3 1oz packages of the instant pudding mix because my grocery store didn’t have the 3.4oz box, but they came out well.
These look fantastic. I can’t wait to make them. One question, can the pudding be a sugar free mix, or should it be a regular pudding? Thanks!
It needs to be regular!
I printed this recipe off right away as it reminds me of them I was a little girl and my mom made snicker-doodles for us kids.
