At Ajpal, I add lots of tips in all of my recipes – because I am a home cook without any formal training, and I find I am more confident making dishes when I understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe. My goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.

How To Make Cheesecake Pudding Cookies

Not only are these cheesecake pudding cookies an indulgent treat, but they are incredibly easy to make. And, although they have a chewy cheesecake flavor, they aren’t messy at all. They are perfect as a quick and easy afternoon snack, a party pleaser, or potluck dessert.

Indulgent Cheesecake Pudding Cookies Ingredients

These scrumptious cheesecake cookies are made with simple baking ingredients you probably already have. Here’s what you’ll need to make this recipe:

• Butter– I used salted butter. You want it to be at room temperature, so it’s easier to work with. Let the butter sit on the counter for about 30-minutes.
• Brown sugar– Use your measuring cup to scoop and pack the brown sugar.
• Sugar– Use your measuring spoon to scoop and pack your granulated sugar.
• Egg– When baking, eggs are best used at room temperature. Set the egg out with the butter for about 30-minutes.
• Flour– Unlike sugar, you do not want to pack the flour. Use a spoon to scoop the flour into the measuring cup, and then scrape off the excess flour with a butter knife.
• Baking soda– Baking soda helps your cookies to rise as they cook for a chewy, fluffy, and delicious cookie.
• Cheesecake pudding mix packet– You can also use the entire package of pudding mix if you want these cookies to really pack a flavor punch. However, we found that half a package was plenty to get the cheesecake flavor to come through.
• White chocolate chips– The white chocolate chips can be omitted if you want to really intensify the cheesecake flavor of these cookies, but I think these cookies are better with the chocolate chips.

Steps to Make Pudding Cookies

Although absolutely indulgent, these cheesecake pudding cookies are actually really easy to make. Follow the simple steps below for a delicious afternoon snack.

Assemble and Prep

Assemble the ingredients and preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

Dough

While the oven is preheating, cream together your butter, brown sugar, and white sugar in a medium mixing bowl until smooth. Next, add the egg and stir until smooth and homogenous. Stir in the flour, baking soda, and pudding mix until there are no clumps and your ingredients become a dough.

Fold in White Chocolate

Gently fold in the white chocolate chips so that they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Scoop

Scoop 1-2 tablespoons of dough into a ball. Place the balls 1-2 inches apart on a baking sheet.

Bake

Bake your cheesecake pudding cookies for 10-12 minutes. Finally, let the cookies cool before removing them from the baking sheet. Serve and enjoy!

Tips and Tricks to Perfect Cheesecake Pudding Cookies

Scrape. Be sure to scrape along the bottom of the bowl several times to ensure the batter is completely mixed.

Store and Heat. If storing unbaked cookie dough, simply throw a ball of dough in a mug and microwave it on 30 second intervals until warm for a gooey treat.

Add other mix-ins. These cookies are delicious with raisins, almonds, mini peanut butter cups, or other candies. Try out different things for the ultimate treat.
