I’ve made these cookies about five times in the last month. Because about a month ago I bought out the entire stock of Jell-O Instant Pumpkin Spice Pudding at Wal-Mart. Mostly with intentions of making this Pumpkin Lust Cake a few times this fall. But that left me with about a dozen extra boxes of Pumpkin Spice Pudding.
So I’ve been making batches and batches of these cookies.
I wish I could tell you the reason I have yet to share them is because I’ve been perfecting the recipe over the last month. I have a growing collection of pudding cookies and the recipe is an easy one.
The truth is they’ve just vanished before I could take a decent picture.
The last time I made these, ahem, over the weekend, I added pecans. That might have been the smartest thing I’ve done in a while. Or dumbest. Two dozen cookies later….I’m feeling a teeny bit guilty.
But at least I took a picture.

I have extra pumpkin spice pudding too! Since I had to make your pumpkin lust cake! I will be making these as a way of using it up! Good thing we are both running! 🙂
I did the same thing with the pumpkin pudding…and then promptly ate them all! Good thing for kids lunches so I could get them out of the house fast!!!
I want to dive right in, they look scrumtious.
I want cookie. Now.
These look delicious!
I want these!! I need to get that pudding, pronto!
These would disappear in no time at my house!
I haven’t been able to find the pumpkin pudding yet, and I’ve been looking.
These look absolutely amazing!!! I can’t wait to try them.
Love this recipe! Will be linking back to this in my upcoming post 🙂
no way! These look awesome! I love making pudding cookies!
Just stumbled on these via Pinterest…they look phenomenal!
The cookies look good and tasty! My friends from catering suffolk will surely love this recipe!
These look amazing! Thanks for sharing. So glad I found you! Pinning.
Does the recipe need adjusting for high altitude? (7000+)
Made these with butterscotch chips and they are like eating Fall right in your mouth! Very good cookie!
Has anyone tried these with white chocolate or toffee chips? I have 3 boxes of pudding so I may have to try 3 different chips!
I looked everywhere (Walmart, Target, Shop N Save, Dierberg’s, and Schnucks) for pumpkin spice pudding, and couldn’t find it. I was super disappointed.
So I modified the recipe a bit… and used Jello’s butterscotch instant pudding and added 1 tsp of pumpkin pie spice instead. The results were awesome; they still tasted like pumpkin. I also used dark chocolate chips, which were perfect. Highly recommended cookie recipe!
Bummer you couldn’t find it!! But such a great idea to use butterscotch pudding!! Glad they turned out!
Thanks, that you share your amazing recipe! But I usually cook in rice cooker, so.. That’s a little bit hard for me. So, have you ever tried to cook something by this way? Do you want to try? Use amazing cooker.guru and find your “soulmate”.
