I’m a big fan of unique cookie recipes! We’ve tried so many fun ones here beyond regular chocolate chip.

Recipes like cotton candy cookies, apple pie cookies, Nutella stuffed, apricot cookies, butterscotch popcorn, and even bacon chocolate chip.

It’s really easy to make cookies and not too much of an effort to experiment with a new flavor. In the past, I’ve made some chocolate pudding cookies – though it was a long time ago.

While they may not be the craziest cookie ever, I was excited to try something that was new to me: vanilla pudding in cookies.

SO . . . I’m happy to share this chocolate chip pudding cookies recipe!

What is the benefit of making chocolate chip cookies using pudding? They’re softer and more moist than regular chocolate chip cookies.

It’s hard to explain, but they’re more delicious too. You’re going to use pudding mix (not already made pudding) and the results – I promise you that you’ve never had a cookie like this before!

SO – I guess it is unique.
