Ingredients
Scale
For the Cookies:
- 1 box (3.4 oz) instant banana cream pudding mix
- 1 box (3.4 oz) instant strawberry cream pudding mix
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup white chocolate chips (optional)
For the Cheesecake Dip:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract.
- Mix in pudding mixes: Add both pudding mixes and mix until well combined.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in white chocolate chips if using.
- Bake cookies: Scoop the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are set and lightly golden. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Make Cheesecake Dip: Beat the cream cheese until smooth, then mix in powdered sugar and vanilla. Add milk one tablespoon at a time until desired dipping consistency is reached. Serve cookies with dip on the side.
Notes
- Cookies will stay soft and chewy for several days when stored in an airtight container.
- You can chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.
- The cheesecake dip also works great as a fruit dip.
