Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Pudding Cookies – soft peanut butter cookies with chocolate chunks! The pudding mix keeps them super soft.
This post originally posted March 5, 2014; updated March 13, 2021.
I’ve been kind of obsessed with pudding cookies since I made the chocolate chip pudding cookies about a year ago.
Since then I’ve made pumpkin pudding cookies, M&Ms pudding cookies, and butterscotch pudding cookies. I just can’t get enough!
If you’ve never put pudding in cookies, I really suggest you try it. Especially if you love a soft cookie! The pudding takes a regular cookie and gives it a little something special.
These cookies are basic peanut butter cookies with chocolate chunks and then have a packet of vanilla pudding in it. Peanut butter cookies are probably at the top of my Favorite Cookies list so I’m sure you can imagine how much I loved these.

How Long Are Pudding Cookies Good For?
Pudding cookies are good for up to 4 days if stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
I store all my cookies in this big glass jar because it’s airtight AND looks super cute on the counter filled with cookies!
Can You Freeze Pudding Cookies?
Yes, you can freeze pudding these. They’re fine in the freezer for up to 3 months.
I like to freeze cookies in a freezer ziploc bag and I make sure to squeeze out as much as as possible before sealing it. To keep them extra fresh, you can wrap them in foil or plastic wrap before putting them in the freezer bag.
Defrost cookies at room temperature before serving.

Oh man I got super excited thinking there existed a peanut butter pudding mix. How amazing would that be? But I too do enjoy pudding cookie and especially love peanut butter, so these look like great cookies for me to devour.
