If you’re a peanut butter lover like me, you are going to LOVE my recipe for Peanut Butter Blast Pudding Cookies!

First of all, WHAT is a pudding cookie?

Basically, a pudding cookie is your usual cookie recipe with butter, flour, sugar and eggs, but you add a box of instant pudding to the mix to push it over-the-top DELICIOUS! That pudding addition is what makes these cookies so soft.

There are some different recipes going around on the internet, but this is the one that I came up with. I was not disappointed. I cannot wait to try some other variations too.

These cookies are pretty easy to put together. Here’s what you will need:

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup (185g) butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup (80g) peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup (115g) sugar
  • 1/2 cup (110g) light brown sugar
  • 1 (3.4 oz) package vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (281g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup (254g) peanut butter chips
  • 1 cup (188g) Reese’s pieces candies

Instructions

  • Measure out all ingredients mise en place, if desired.
  • Line two cookie sheets with parchment or a Silpat baking mat and set aside. (You can skip this step if you do not have parchment or a Silpat. It just makes it a little easier to remove the cookies.)
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat butter, peanut butter and both sugars until creamy. Scrape down the bowl if needed.
  • Add pudding mix, eggs and vanilla and beat until combined.
  • Add flour, baking soda and salt and beat until combined.
  • Fold in the peanut butter chips and Reese’s pieces.
  • Chill dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour or more.
  • Preheat oven to 350° F.
  • Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto prepared cookie sheet 2 inches apart. (I bake one cookie sheet at a time. I find the cookies bake evenly that way.)
  • Using your hand, flatten down each cookie a little bit.
  • Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes until golden.
  • Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool.
  • Enjoy!
