I guess I have a confession to make. I have never tried pudding cookies. Does that make me weird? I hadn’t really even heard of them until I started following Nikki at Chef-In-Training like a year ago. I know I have pinned several of her versions, but this one really stood out to me & I wanted to try it immediately. I actually almost didn’t post this recipe because I was slightly disappointed. The pictures were so beautiful & very enticing, but the flavors didn’t scream spiced pumpkin cookies like I had hoped. Maybe put in some pumpkin pie spice to help boost the flavor.
Nevertheless the cookies were still soft, chewy & sweet. They kind of taste like what I would imagine a pumpkin snickerdoodle would taste like & the pudding does make the cookie very soft & moist. I will most likely be making pudding cookies again in the future. As for these cookies…they are a fun twist for a fall treat that are quick to whip up.
