Pudding Oatmeal Cookies {Recipe}

Like the Pudding Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe I posted a few weeks ago,  I have made these Pudding Oatmeal Cookies for what seems like forever!  I am pretty sure I got this recipe from my mom, but I am not sure where she discovered it.  However, I do remember, as a child we would we often had pudding for dessert.  Because of the somewhat unusual addition of a pudding mix to these cookies, I suspect the recipe may have been on the pudding box or in an advertisement in a magazine.

Like the Chocolate Chip Cookies, I have made these since I was 12 or 13.  I don’t make them as often as the chocolate chip variety, but a few times a year someone in the house will request oatmeal cookies.  They are easy to make, moist, chewy and delicious!

 I admit I don’t always do this,  but, it is a good practice to gather all your ingredients before beginning.  That way you don’t get half way through a recipe and discover you are missing an ingredient.

  1. Oh wow those sound amazing! I love pudding but have never seen it in a cookie recipe! About how many does this make? Just trying to figure out if I should halve the recipe. No raisins?

  1. […] or probably not so coincidentally…as they both came from my mom,  I also have a recipe for Pudding Oatmeal Cookies which are equally delicious. I think the pudding, even though it is added in its dry state, adds […]
