Pudding cookies are my favorite!

Something about vanilla pudding make the cookies deliciously chewy and the best taste! I took this recipe as a 4-H Food & Nutrition project back in the day, probably as a little Cloverkid. Since then, I have experimented with many other cookie recipes but this one has always been my favorite. It is my grandmothers recipe, and originated on page 101 of an old church cookbook that is definitely older than me. The best recipes come from grandmas and old church cookbooks!

Freezer Friendly

This recipe is freezer friendly. You can stick these in the freezer for 4-6 weeks easily and probably longer! (cooked). I like to make them and stick them in the freezer to hide from myself. The longest I have frozen them for is 6 weeks and they tasted just as great as usual. You could also freeze the dough and then thaw, and cook per instructions.

Make sure to enjoy with a tall glass of cold milk!

My favorite way to enjoy a cookie is dipped in a glass of milk. Plus, milk is healthy for you..so makes the cookie not-so-bad…right? Milk is filled with essential nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin D, calcium, protein, and more that our bodies need.
