White Chocolate Pudding Cookies Recipe

Soft, Sweet & Full of Vanilla Chip Magic

There’s just something about pudding mix in cookie dough that turns your everyday treat into a soft-baked dream — and these White Chocolate Pudding Cookies are no exception. I’ve made these for movie nights, road trips, and even packed them into Disneyland snack bags for a sweet homemade treat on Main Street!

With cozy vanilla flavor, melty chips, and a secret ingredient (psst… it's the instant white chocolate pudding), this recipe is an easy win whether you’re baking for a crowd or just for fun.

• ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened

• 1 teaspoon almond extract

• 1 cup sugar

• 2 eggs

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• Pinch of salt

• 1 (3.5 oz) package instant white chocolate pudding mix

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 cup vanilla baking chips (white chocolate chips work great!)

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or lightly spray with nonstick spray.

2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until fluffy and smooth.

3. Add the eggs, vanilla, and almond extract. Beat for about 1 minute.

4. Mix in the baking soda and salt.

5. Add in the pudding mix and blend until fully combined.

6. Slowly mix in the flour until a dough forms.

7. Fold in the vanilla chips — don’t skip this step, they’re the sweet surprise in every bite.

8. Use a cookie scoop to portion dough balls and place 2” apart on the prepared cookie sheets.

9. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

10. Cool slightly… and then devour!

Yields: About 18 cookies

Want that bakery-style look? Press a few extra white chips on top of each dough ball before baking. It makes them look extra pretty (and yes, extra delicious)!
