Strawberries and Cream Pudding Cookies

These are our new favorite! Strawberries and Cream Pudding cookies made with an instant pudding and white chocolate chips!

This is one of those recipes that I wish I could reach through the screen and make you try a nibble. I guess that would be a tad creepy though. It almost seems like a horror movie to witness and arm reaching out of a screen. Although when you bite into the world’s softest cookie with the most delightful flavor you wouldn’t care how you got it. But in the meantime, just trust me on these strawberries and cream pudding cookies.

And other than the flavor here’s what really sold us on these cookies, the texture! They are incredible soft like a pudding cookie, but after 3 days of being on a plate with saran wrap they were still perfect! Even our pudding cookies tend to get crisper with time. And let’s talk about Cade and these cookies.

If you’ve been reading our site for a while now you know how Cade feels about cookies, but I’ll let him tell you.

Whenever Carrian makes cookies I can smell the deliciousness right when I walk into the door and I cannot resist grabbing a hot cookie immediately, but occasionally I’ll come home, smell the baked goods smell and rush into the kitchen only to find another kind of cookie. Now don’t get me wrong, I love all cookies, but I’m always a little heartbroken when it’s not a good, melty chocolate chip cookie. They are my favorite!

Watch the video to see it all in action.

You just can’t go wrong with a classic like that. So, it was a Sunday night and at our house it means it’s treat day. Carrian wandered to the kitchen and on the way announced that she was headed to make cookies. The girls and I headed upstairs to play hide and go seek while I held back my excitement. And then she called to us that they were done. I rushed into the kitchen to find pink and white cookies. Whaaaa?

She made me close my eyes and just take a bite before I even dared get sad. And I cross my heart, I was totally wrong to be disappointed! This chocolate lover has been converted. I don’t know what it is about those cookies but I can’t stay out of them! And now I can’t wait for you to try them too!
