I love making this recipe with Betty Crocker’s 17.5 ounce sugar cookie mix. It makes for just a really quick and easy dessert.

If you are unable to find it, or you would rather not use a pre-made mix, you can make the dough with my Sugar Cookie Recipe . Make the recipe as it is written, but before rolling into cookies mix in the brown sugar, cinnamon, pudding mix, and chocolate chips.

Adding Pudding Mix

Adding pudding mix to cookies is a really fun way to add extra flavor and moisture. Here I loved the idea of adding a cheesecake flavor to a cinnamon roll like cookie. But realistically, if you can’t find cheesecake flavored pudding mix, any pudding mix flavor will work great. I would highly recommend vanilla. Be sure to grab instant pudding mix and not cook and serve.

Storing and Freezing

Store these cookies in an airtight container for up to one week. These freeze great. Freeze them in a single layer before transferring them to an air tight container and returning them to the freezer. Freeze the cookies for up to three months.
