We had an event last week that my husband was helping out at and needed some extra goodies to take. I wanted to try out a new pudding cookie and it turned out really great! You can probably tell by a few of my posts that I LOVE cake batter flavors....for example:
Well if you couldn't tell before, you probably can now! You may have also gathered from this blog that I LOVE Pudding Cookies. Well I decided I wanted to try and combine these two loves of mine and they turned out DELICIOUS! An amazingly soft cookie with such an amazing taste!

ReplyDeleteso sad they lost... cause I do not even like St. Louis Cardinals a little bit !!!
DeleteYum I think I may make these tonight
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea! I can't wait to try this recipe!
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to try this one!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cookies! I am obsessed with cake batter as well. These look SO good. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun cookie!
ReplyDeleteJust pinned these on my cookie board. They look and sound fabulous!!!
ReplyDeletecake. batter. pudding. cookies. oh. my. gosh!
ReplyDeleteUm...YUM!!! These sound amazing!!!
ReplyDeletedo you mean one package of pudding or 3.4 ounces? One package is 1 ounce and even the bigger size package is only 1.5 ounces... just wondering!
ReplyDeleteNot sugar free
DeleteThanks for sharing, my daughter will love those!
ReplyDeleteafter my trial run and ruined cookies, you only need 1 ounce of the pudding mix, not 3.4 ounces!
ReplyDelete@Anonymous I am sorry for the confusion and for my late response. I posted a picture of the packet I use. The only small package I am familiar with is the one pictured above and in the bottom right corner it says 3.4 oz. If you have anymore questions or if I can help in trying to figure out what went wrong, please feel free to email me at chefintraining.recipes@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI would love to help out in any way I can!

Hmm I just tried the recipe and the batter got so thick it made my hand mixer smoke before I even I finished mixing in the dry ingredients.
ReplyDeleteyikes
DeleteDont try gingerbread cookies then, thatll def make it go up in smoke.
DeleteAdd the eggs and vanilla before you add the dry pudding mix and cake mix. That way it's not so dry and hard on the mixer.
DeleteYes please! These look amazing---Cake batter AND cookies...could it be?
ReplyDeleteThese look super tasty. Gonna make them soon.
ReplyDeleteJust finished making them and they are super yummy. My kids loved them as well. Thank you for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteDo you think you could use confetti cake mix instead of using yellow cake and sprinkles???
ReplyDeleteYay! Going to make them tonight! I am excited :D
ReplyDeleteThese are cuteand festive . I just got finished looking at your cookie pizza and now I'm off to see what a the heck a chicken pillow is!
ReplyDeleteThese cookies are incredible. I've made them twice already this week and I bake about 4 times a year (love cooking but not much of a baker). Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThey look and sound soo yummy. I going to make some soon
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you how many times I've made these cookies since I found the recipe here on your blog. Please. keep. blogging. Your photos show the beauty and reality of the deliciousness that is in every bite of each baked good. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAmazing! perfect just as the recipe says.
ReplyDeleteTHESE ARE AWESOME! I'm obsessed with cake batter and these are like a combination of cake batter, pudding and cookies... and your recipe is perfect. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteLOVE these cookies! They are everything I've been trying to make for years! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteHi Nikki I made your cookies and posted on my blog thewednesdaybaker.blogspot.com very good thanks for another cookie Happy Thanksgiving andi
ReplyDeleteOh My Yummy !! .... found you via Pinterest .... am in Love with your Site ! ;-]]
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know how many cookies come out of this recipe?
ReplyDeleteJust made these cookies and they are sooo good. Would def recommend.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous mine made about 4doz.
Holy cow! These look tasty. Can you use confetti cake batter instead of the yellow cake mix?
ReplyDeleteNo personal offense, I think most of your stuff looks great! These were not so great. I think the sprinkles and jello pudding make them taste really processed. I'm wondering if they would turn out without the pudding mix.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the consistency was terrible and the cookies were just ok
DeleteI saw comments about the thickness of the batter. They may have made the mistake I did and used an entire box of cake mix instead of 3/4 cup. Luckily I realized this before I added the flour. I just used half the flour and they turned out pretty well. Not so pretty but they tasted great. Can't wait to fix them again!
ReplyDeleteI just made a batch of these and my daughter is the happiest girl on Earth! Thank you so much for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteI followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI am not typically a sweets person. However after I made these I couldn't stop eating them!
ReplyDeleteJust took these out of the oven - Amazingly delicious!! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteIs the brown sugar packed?
ReplyDeleteAny way you can use sugar free pudding? I know that sounds crazy when you are talking about cookies, but was just curious.
ReplyDeleteThis recipe sounds delicious. I'm considering adding it to my Christmas cookie list for this year. How many does this receipe make? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI've been making these for 30 years or so, they never disappoint!! My kids loved these when they were small!!
ReplyDeleteI love these cookies, I make them with confetti cake mix. they turn out so yummy.
ReplyDeletethese are good, the batter is thick but makes an excellent texture and thickness in the end. only needed to cook for 10 min in my oven.
ReplyDeleteJust made these can't wait to try them!
ReplyDeleteLove these! make em every holiday. My grandmother made these for all the great-grandkids as soon as they started teething. And for this she will forever be known as grandma-cookie. (we miss you)
ReplyDeleteJust made these and they're amazing!
ReplyDeleteI made these the other day and ohh my......... To die for!! Turned out just like the picture.
ReplyDeleteI just made these and they turned out soooo good, I made them exactly like the recipe says and my boyfriend ate half the batch right out of the oven!
ReplyDeleteI just made these, they are incredible! I used the sugar free pudding mix, and used funfetti mix instead of the yellow cake/sprinkles. I rolled about 1 inch balls and it made a little over 4 dozen cookies. The batter does get thick, at that point I just starting mixing it with my hands instead of the mixer. Took about 11 minutes. Thank you for the great recipe!
ReplyDeleteMade these tonight and they are wonderful. I don't know how people are having issues with the box of pudding. We all loved them here, they were easy to make and delicious.
ReplyDeleteCan you substitute other cake mixes for the yellow? I have at least 3/4 of a cup of funfetti cake mix left from cake batter rice krispy treats and I have NO idea what to do with it and these look delicious and figured that way I could omit the sprinkles as well, think it may work?
ReplyDeleteYes, I am guessing funfetti would still taste great! A couple other people have tried that and said it turned out delicious. I am a sprinkle lover, so I would still add some because for the little amount of cake mix going in, you probably won't get a lot of sprinkles from it. Let me know how you like them!
DeleteI tried these and they were a huge hit! I had the funfetti cake mix on hand. Fun and easy recipe! Thanks!!
ReplyDeletedo you use all purpose flour ?
ReplyDeleteyes I do.
DeleteWhat went wrong? Mine were so sticky that I couldn't make the dough into balls so I added more flour and now they taste like flour. They do not taste sweet at all.
ReplyDeleteThey do come out sticky, but if you chill the dough in the fridge for a bit they are perfect for rolling. Also, they taste better after fully cooled :)
ReplyDeleteI used butterscotch instant pudding and it came out super yummy. I'm betting lemon would be tasty too...
ReplyDeleteI followed the recipe exactly, but I had a few issues. The dough was a little dry I even added 1/4bcup milk. I took half the batter with no sprinkles added mocha and lindt chocolate chunks... They were delicious. But the other ones still came out a little dry. Any ideas how to fix this? I only baked 1/2 of them so I have the rest of the dough to manipulate
ReplyDeleteTry using buttermilk or applesauce but let your batter come back to room temperature first.
DeleteJust pulled these out of the oven! They are chewy and yummy! I did find that the first batch didn't flatten out as much as I would like (therefore not getting done in in the middle), so I kind of have cookie spheres, but they still taste wonderful - for the second batch I flattened them a little bit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe!
Mine came out chewy and delicious. I followed the recipe exactly. Thanks!
ReplyDeletethese are amazing but did anyone else have a problem with them breaking apart? mine won't stay in a cookie shape :(
ReplyDeleteHOLEY COW!!! I just took my first batch out the oven and they are awesome!!! the dough does get stiff but i did like someone else said and used my hands, they are perfect and puffed up.. i made mine with white cake mix and chocolate pudding.... YUMMY!!!
ReplyDeleteI made these for my family at Christmas. They were a huge hit! They are now part of our Christmas cooking traditions.
ReplyDeleteWe have a dairy and egg allergy in our house and I had to change some ingredients (pudding mix is dairy free). turned out REALLY good! Used Dunkin Hines mix, Earth Balance(Dairy Free Butter) Jello Brand pudding, and 1/2 c. applesauce instead of the eggs. AWESOME! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAbout how many cookies does one back make???
ReplyDeletesorry for the late reply, but they make about 3+ dozen.
DeleteI used cherry chips instead of the sprinkles. Took them to a get together, and they were a huge hit. I only baked mine for 8 minutes. Using a cookie scoop to measure out the dough, I got approximately 60 cookies.
ReplyDeleteJust made these, what a GREAT idea!! So soft! Next time I think I'll add some chocolate chips :) Seems like this recipe could really be the base for any great cookie!!
ReplyDeleteHas anybody used chocolate cake mix. I neeeeeeed to make this but don't have yellow or white mis.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the late reply, but you could definitely change up the cake mix! If you use chocolate cake mix, I would recommend using a chocolate instant pudding mix instead of the vanilla.
DeleteI made these for Christmas with cinnomon for Snickerdoodles.... they were a total success! I have been asked to make them again and again and again. My brother specifically asked for a batch to take back to college with him. That's an A in my book!
ReplyDeleteMe and a friend made these today... had no cake mix and had to make our own. Had to use chocolate milk too, because we were out of regular. And now... we're waiting for the results...
ReplyDeleteOk I bake ALL THE TIME. I have a husband that LOVES cookie dough so I figured I would give these a try tonight. I followed the recipe EXACTLY and the dough turned out SO dry and thick. I see others have had the problem, but no solution has been posted. HELP! I would REALLY love to make these for my hubby!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm making these right now. The cookie dough is mixed and the first batch is out...I must say I am not sold...yet. I have a Kitchen Aid mixer so the thickness of the dough was not an issue. What I'm wondering is, are you supposed to add 3/4 cup cake batter (as in follow the box recipe and add batter to it, liquid form) or just 3/4 cups of dry cake mix? This may explain some of the issues we are having.
ReplyDeleteit is 3/4 dry cake mix
Deletecan you use "cook and serve pudding mix" instead of the instant??
ReplyDeleteI would recommend using the instant. I know that the pudding mixes have different results. I have never used cook and serve for this recipe, so if you do, you will have to let me know how it turns out :)
Delete@Melissa, I had the same problem. Mine came out in a sphere shape instead of flat, and it took longer to bake them. Everyone that tried them enjoyed them but I felt like they were too dry and I don't know how to fix it.
ReplyDeleteI made these, and they are delicious!! The whole family loved them. I know i'll have requests for them again quickly (:
ReplyDeleteI've made these 3 times in the last 3 weeks :x They're delicious!! Today I needed some for my husband's work pot-luck but I was out of vanilla pudding so I substituted Lemon... AWESOME! Everyone loves them wherever I take them.
ReplyDeleteIs the cake mix dry? Or do you prepare the cake mix and then add 3/4 cup of the liquid cake mix? They look so food I can't wait to try them! Thanks
ReplyDeletethe cake mix is dry.
DeleteI cant say how many time I have made these cookies. My family loves them especially my mom who usually doesn't eat cookies like these. They're a total hit and I love them they taste so good. This recipe hangs on my fridge!
ReplyDeleteI was on vacation and was in the mood for making cookies! I didn't want to buy sugar and flour to make just one thing so I bought the Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix and my cookies turned out great. They were a little chewy but extra soft and delicious. I even made a few of them into icecream sandwiches by putting vanilla icecream between two cookies while they were still warm.
ReplyDeleteI used one 21 oz bag of sugar cookie mix, one 1 oz box pudding, 3/4 cup dry cake mix, one stick of butter, 2 eggs, and 2 tablespoons water.
So good everyone loves them!!
ReplyDeleteJust licked the spatula from some strawberry cake batter myself. These look really good!
ReplyDeleteDelicious! Just made this recipe with my three year old and we both love them! Used white chocolate pudding mix and they taste so good! Thanks for the recipe :)
