Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies – the softest cookies ever! Classic chocolate chip cookies made with pudding mix to keep them chewy and soft.
Everyone in my house loves chocolate chip cookies! Some of our other favorites are Candied Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies, Chocolate Chip Pizookie, and Gluten Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies!
I’ve seen cookies made with pudding mix around the internet 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 to keep them fresh for as long as possible.
You can stretch out their life a couple days by storing them in the fridge (also in an airtight container) but that will cause the cookies to be a little less soft.
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.

These sound great! Do I use salted or unsalted butter? Light or dark brown sugar?
amanda says
I always use unsalted and light brown sugar. :)

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

Just the pudding mix powder. :)

These cookies look great, can’t wait to try recipe. I love chocolate and so does the kids!
Joyce says
Ever use any flavor pudding other than vanilla? Just wondering how that would turn out…
amanda says
I haven’t tried any other flavors but I’m sure chocolate with chocolate chips would be delicious!
Tracey says
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 :)
Ellie says
How many cookies did you get? Helps me decide on one cup choc chips or two cuz I will be making these.
amanda says
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!
Meagan @ A Zesty Bite says
I’m obsessed with all the Housewives as well. I agree everyone of them is promoting something.
Katrina @ Warm Vanilla Sugar says
I’ve always wanted to make pudding cookies! These sound awesome!
Kristi says
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!
