Double Chocolate Pudding Cookies are pretty much one of my favorite desserts ever. With the added in butterscotch and white chocolate I am in dessert love!
These double chocolate pudding cookies are some of the best most mouthwatering cookies I’ve ever had. Pretty much my favorite!
My husband’s favorite cookies are these classic chocolate chip cookies. And don’t get me wrong, they are super good! I make them a lot, because they are his favorite. But give me some chocolate pudding, butterscotch and white chocolate chips and I’ll make these in no time. They are chocolatey in all the good ways and have that amazing butterscotch flavor that makes my mouth water for more! I can never just eat one of these cookies….
Have you ever added instant pudding to your cookies? It is amazing. It makes them super soft and adds the flavor of the pudding to the cookie dough. You can totally go crazy with all the different instant pudding and chocolate chip combos out there! Sometimes I add vanilla pudding to my classic chocolate chips cookies and they are soooo good!
Anyways, I love to add the chocolate instant pudding to these cookies because it balances the sweetness from the white chocolate and butterscotch nicely. I also used the high altitude adjustments since I’m definitely not at sea level!
These cookies are super easy to make, come together fast and taste amazing! Eat them warm from the oven or over the course of the week!
A neat trick I learned years ago was to roll the dough into individual balls and then freeze them. Then you can pull out a few and bake them as needed. The cookie dough will stay good in your freezer for a few months! This makes it easy to have fresh baked cookies at any moment!
Easy double chocolate cookies! So good!

Chocolate Pudding Butterscotch Cookies
These chocolate cookies are so soft, chewy and so delicious! Everything you could want in a cookie! Loaded with butterscotch and white chocolate you can't go wrong!
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- ¾ cup white sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 2 ¼ cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 package instant chocolate pudding (the smaller box)
- 1 cup butterscotch chips*
- 1 cup white chocolate chips*
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a stand up mixer bowl cream butter, sugar and vanilla.
- Add in eggs one at a time. Letting the first egg incorporate fully into the batter before adding the next.
- Add in the flour, baking soda, salt, and dry pudding mix. Mix until fully combined.
- Fold in butterscotch and white chocolate chips to cookie dough.
- Drop rounded spoonfuls onto lined baking sheet and bake for 8-11 minutes. I like to take these out earlier rather than later so they stay soft.
- Let cookies cool for a few minutes and then enjoy!
Recipe Notes
*For high altitude decrease both sugars to only 2/3 cups and increase flour to 2 ½ cups plus two 2 tsp water. *I used tollhouse butterscotch chips and white chocolate chips for these cookies, but any brand should work fine! This recipe is adapted from the original tollhouse cookies.
This is amazing! Everything I want is in this cookie! Thank you so much for sharing.
Beautiful photos, Lisa! I wanna drop what I am doing and go make this asap!! So yum!!!
Thanks Camila!
I love to put pudding mixes in things to add flavor and moisture! These look so delicious and easy 🙂
Yummy! I have never had a pudding cooking. Since I now know why people use pudding in their cookies thanks to your post, I will give this one a try. I think my kiddos would love these cookies.
Awesome!
What size pudding mix? There are large as well as small packages.
Great question! It’s the smaller size. Around 3 oz I believe 🙂
I have a very similar recipe and make these with peanut butter chips. My kids also love Strawberry pudding with white chocolate chips!
Peanut butter chips sounds amazing and I’ve never used strawberry pudding in a cookie before but man I need to try it asap!
These are SUPER yummy! I can’t stop eating them. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
Yay!! I’m so glad you like them!!!
Can I use Jello pudding cups for this recipe instead of the mix?
I wouldn’t recommend it. It might make the dough too wet. Also, the dry pudding mix when added into the mixture helps keep the cookies soft because it reacts with the other ingredients. If you just add premade jello then the jello won’t do anything to the cookie dough.
