Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies are an awesome thing. They stay soft and chewy for days and they taste fabulous.

I have been a chocolate chip cookie addict for as long as I can remember. However, in the last year, I discovered pudding cookies.

Despite the fact that we try to avoid as many packaged foods as possible, I can not resist occasionally buying the pudding necessary for these cookies.

So far, pudding cookies are the only variety of Chocolate Chip Cookies that I have been able to successfully convert to a whole wheat variety that is still soft and chewy.

So, I compromise on the pudding, by telling myself the whole wheat makes up for it. That makes sense, right?

The cookies freeze beautifully, as does the cookie dough. For the record, both the cookies and the dough taste awesome straight out of the freezer. Yes, I did just admit that.

Kitchen Tips: I use this scoop and this baking sheet to make this recipe.

This recipe multiplies beautifully. Originally published as a doubled recipe with ½ whole wheat flour. (To make the original recipe, double all ingredients and swap in 2 ¼ cups of whole wheat flour for half of the all-purpose flour listed.) Recipe notes have been updated and ingredient amounts were reduced to eliminate confusion with the large-batch recipe.

I use my medium scoop to make the cookies an even size. I like to bake up about half of the batch and then freeze the remaining dough. When I am ready to use it, I simply set it on the counter for 20-30 minutes and then scoop out the number of cookies that I want to bake at the time.

How To Make Pudding Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flours and baking soda and set aside. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars. Add in the pudding mix and beat until light and fluffy.

  2. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth. Slowly add in the flour mixture, making sure that it is well incorporated. Last, add the chocolate chips and stir well to mix them throughout the dough.

  3. Scoop the dough onto a parchment or silicone-lined baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 11 minutes. Let them cool on the sheet for 5 minutes and then remove to wire racks. Enjoy!

    I wanted to print this but said it was ten pages long. make the receipts so you can print on one sheet of paper

      Hi Dixie, it sounds like you are trying to print the whole webpage. If you click the “print recipe” button in the recipe card, a page will open to print with just the recipe itself and none of the article.
