Delicious Lemon Pudding Cookies with white chocolate chips. The pudding mix inside these cookies makes them extra soft and yummy!
These Lemon Pudding Cookies were so delicious, soft and amazing so I just had to share the recipe. Please forgive the photos. I promise you they do NOT give these cookies justice. If you’re like me and adore lemon flavored treats than these cookies are for you my friends! 🙂
I love the white chocolate chips in these. They balance out the lemon flavor so well. It was hard to not shove 3 in my mouth because I’m still on the “Hawaii” diet. Kale was a good boy too and only ate one. I was so proud of my little cookie monster because cookies are his total weakness. When we get back from Hawaii I’m going to make a special batch for him so he can enjoy a few or 20 next time. Ha! 😉

Lemon and chocolate chips just don’t go for me….even if they are white chocolate…might try them without the chips..
Oh you silly woman! I think these photos are awesome…can’t wait to try the cookies too. SO glad you didn’t wait to share. MMMM!
Thanks Marsha! ♥
These are fantastic. I didn’t have any fresh lemons, so I omitted the lemon zest and they still came out perfect. The kids loved them, we loved them, they are great! I will be making these often as an alternative to the standard chocolate chip cookie. Thanks!
Yay! Glad they were a success for you Shelly 🙂
I made these today for a friend but had to try one. They are AMAZING! So refreshing and I nice alternative to chocolate.
