Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies – the softest cookies ever! Classic chocolate chip cookies made with pudding mix to keep them chewy and soft.

Before we get to these cookies, can we talk Real Housewives? Y’all know I have always been a Real Housewives fan. Since the first season of Orange County which was, what? 8 years ago? Yeah, I’m a big fan.

But I am so disappointed with every city these days. It seems like the longer someone is on a show, the more crap they have to promote. I swear New Jersey is 100% promotions these days. Bakeries, books, music, strange bottles of black water…? I mean, we haven’t seen a good ham game played in years. And no one’s been called a “prostitution whoraaa” in a way too long. I just want to go back to the good ol’ days – is that too much to ask?

So cookies.

I’ve seen cookies made with pudding mix around the interwebs for years now but I never have pudding in the house and I don’t ever plan to make cookies when I’m working on my grocery list.

But I somehow ended up with pudding in my pantry this week and new it was time to finally try these cookies.

They’re so good! They don’t really taste different from a normal chocolate chip cookie but they are super soft, just how I like my cookies. I’m really happy that I finally got around to trying them and hopefully I remember to stock up on pudding so I can try different versions. Definitely make these if you’re a fan of soft cookies!

How Long Are Pudding Cookies Good For?

These chocolate chip pudding cookies will stay fresh for up to 4 days. Make sure to store them in an airtight container at room temperature.

Can You Freeze Pudding Cookies?

Yes, you can freeze these cookies! Make sure they are completely cooled and then put them in an airtight container (I like using freezer ziploc bags – squeeze all the air out!) and freeze for up to 3 months.

Let them defrost on the counter before serving.

I so agree with Real Housewives…. especially with New Jersey. They need to get non- family members on that show and make it more than a family feud that has been going on for how many seasons now?
BTW… I have a few boxes of pudding that I have acquried, but don’t really like pudding… this seems to be a perfect way to use them up!

  I got 27 cookies but I could have gotten a couple more – didn’t want to bake another round just for 2 cookies. I probably used about 1 1/2 of chips. More is always better with chocolate!

Pudding cookies are where it’s at! I add it to mine all the time now. Not only are they great on the first day, but they stay soft forever! Now you have me craving them :)

I love super soft cookies! Love RHOC, Beverly Hills, and New York. New Jersey, Miami and Atlanta not as much.

Are you suppose to make these cookies with warm or cooled pudding or just the pudding mixture powder?

I loaded these up with mini cinnamon chips and a little more flour and baked 9 mins. Mine came out nice and thick. Hubbies says it’s one of the best cookies I’ve ever made!
