Funfetti Cheesecake Pudding Cookie Tips and Variations

These cookies are going to be worth every single calorie. Your whole family is going to love them!

  • The Pudding: You want to add the pudding and no you do not want to leave it out. Besides adding a dreamy creamy flavor it helps the cookies become fluffy and soft.
  • Cream: When you cream the butter, eggs, and sugars together, you really want to cream it till it’s good and fluffy.
  • Room Temperature: Having the eggs and butter at room temperature will help the ingredients incorporate more evenly and leave you with a smooth decadent cookie batter.
  • Chips: You can use different chips if you would like in these cookies. The white chocolate chips pair beautifully with the cream cheese pudding but so would butterscotch, peanut butter, or even milk chocolate chips.
  • Chill The Dough: If you have time chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking. This helps the cookies cook up nice and fluffy

Storing Your Funfetti Cookies

These cookies are so soft and tender you will want to keep them that way as long as possible.

  • Store: Keep the cheesecake pudding cookies in a tightly sealed container or even better a sealed bag where you can push out all the air. They will keep beautifully for up to 1 week. But good luck keeping them around that long.
  • Freeze: If you are going to make the effort to make a batch, why not make two at the same time. Double the recipe and freeze a batch for those days when you just need a great cookie. Let the cookies cool to room temperature then place in a freezer-safe bag with all the air removed for up to 3 months. Let them thaw at room temperature. Can’t wait that long, then pop the funfetti cookies in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds, depending on how many you are going to scarf down.

A Reader’s Review

“I just made these for my co-workers birthday tomorrow. I plan to take them to work- but of course, I had my husband sample them. He had 4! Then….shamefully I say…I did, too. I keep justifying it by saying they were tiny cookies. Oh man- self control went out the window. GREAT cookies! Let’s hope the rest actually MAKE it to work tomorrow. Thank you Alyssa” – Bethany
