While I am well aware that the blog world is saturated with chocolate chip cookie recipes, I just couldn’t help but post this recipe. I first had these cookies when my mom sent me a batch in a care package last year, and I haven’t been able to get my mind off of them since. It just seemed that every time I would go to make cookies and remember this recipe, I would never have a package of pudding on hand.
I had the chance to make these when I went home a couple of weekends ago and my mom had about 15 pudding packets in her cupboard. After we had a good laugh about her insane amount of instant pudding, I immediately got to baking the cookies. Now that I’ve had the chance to make them and try them again, I don’t think I will ever let my cupboard go without having a packet of emergency instant pudding mix. These cookies are soft, thick, stay moist for days, and are sure to make any tummy a happy tummy. To make these cookies even more fun, any variety of pudding mix can be used with any combination of add-ins. Pistachio pudding with white chocolate chips, maybe? Banana pudding with butterscotch chips? Chocolate pudding and mint chips? The possibilities are endless.
