Ingredients Needed

Butter: Butter gives cookies that rich and chewy texture. I recommend real butter over margarine.

Sugar: Granulated and brown sugar are both used to enhance the sweetness of the cookies. The brown sugar gives a bit of a light caramel flavor.

Pudding: Reach for a box of pumpkin spice pudding that will truly enhance the softness and flavor of the pudding cookies.

Eggs: Room temperature eggs incorporate best in the cookie dough. Eggs are also used as the binder to a cookie dough.

Vanilla: Vanilla extract will bring out the flavors of all the ingredients in the recipe, as well as sweeten the cookies a bit.

Flour: All purpose flour is what I recommend for making these jello pudding cookies. Scoop into the measuring cup and then level it off.

Baking Soda: You will use baking soda to help allow the cookies to rise as they bake up in the oven.

Pumpkin Spice: A dash of pumpkin spice seasoning is going to add deep and warm spices to the cookie dough and richen the pumpkin flavor.

Nutmeg: Nutmeg will add even more richness to all the spices.

Chocolate Chips: White chocolate chips are the perfect sweetness to compliment the pumpkin flavor.

Variations

  • If you can’t find pumpkin spice pudding reach for vanilla or even French vanilla. Both would be great.
  • Add a twist of flavor and do a cheesecake-flavored pudding.
  • Instead of white chocolate chips do semi-sweet chips or milk chocolate.
  • Swap out the chocolate chips for a dried cranberry or even chopped nut. Both would be a great addition in the flavor.
  • Leave out the chocolate chips for a classic soft-baked cookies.
  • Melt chocolate and drizzle on top of the cookies for a delicious treat.
  • Leave out the nutmeg and just do the pumpkin spice.

Tips For Success

Softened Butter

Instead of melting butter, it is important to use softened butter. Make sure to cream the butter and sugar together that is softened. This is going to create the proper texture for the cookies.

Flour

Scoop the flour into the measuring cup with a spoon. Then use a knife to level off the top to ensure you do not pack the flour into the measuring cup.

Cookie Scoop

Reach for a cookie scoop so you get evenly-sized cookies. This is important that way all the cookies bake up evenly.

White Chocolate Chips

I like to take extra white chocolate chips and place them on top of the balls of cookie dough. This is going to give you that bakery-style cookie.

Parchment Paper

Using parchment paper on the cookie sheet is going to ensure the cookies do not stick. Also, aim for 2 inches apart from each cookie dough ball. As the cookies bake they will spread out a bit.

Cooling

Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before you place them on the cooling rack. This allows the cookies to cool for a few minutes so that they hold shape and won’t break apart when you try to move them.

Cook Time

Make sure you know that the cooking time is a range. Depending on your oven, altitude, and such the cooking time can vary a bit. Cookies are done when the edges are light and golden and if you stick a toothpick in the center of the cookie it comes out clean of wet batter.

Storing

Room Temperature – You can store any of the cookies you do not eat right away in a sealed airtight container at room temperature. The cookies will last for around 3-4 days. You will find with each day the cookies will dry out.

Freezing – Also, you can freeze pumpkin spice pudding cookies. Just place it in a sealed container and freeze it for 2-3 months. Then thaw on the counter or eat straight from the freezer.

FAQs

What if I can’t find pumpkin spice pudding mix?

Any vanilla or French vanilla pudding will work. You could even reach for a butterscotch pudding and find it still offers a great pairing with the pumpkin spice.

How do I prevent cookies from spreading too much?

If your cookie dough is spreading, you can fix this by refrigerating the cookie dough for 30 minutes to 1 hour. This will help the cookies from spreading too much as it is baked.

Can I freeze cookie dough?

Make your cookie dough balls and then flash freeze for 1 hour. Then transfer to a freezer container and then freeze for up to 6 months. Then when you want a cookie or a batch preheat oven and bake for a few extra minutes. Bake the cookies straight from frozen.
