All coconut lovers are going to go crazy over these super soft Coconut Cream Cookies!

Have you guys ever used dry pudding mix in your cookies? It adds a yummy flavor to cookies and gives them the best texture. I asked Carson to make cookies with pudding in them the other day and he couldn’t find any instant pudding. Boys, at least my boys, can’t find a anything. Even when I give them specific directions, they still have trouble finding items. I knew there was a few boxes of instant pudding in the pantry and I knew I would have to look myself if I wanted to find it. The first box I found was coconut cream pudding and I knew it would make the best cookies. (By the way, my friend once told me any person with a male part is not capable of finding items. It’s just the way it is!)

You pretty much mix them up like any cookie recipe. I swapped coconut extract for vanilla and added a little shredded coconut to turn ordinary chocolate chip cookies into Coconut Cream Cookies! They are just the right amount of coconut flavor too.

    Love the coconut pudding idea! Do you remember Grandma’s cookies? Her chocolate chips cookies had pudding in them and were yummy! I agree about the male gender having difficulties finding things. We have that problem around our house too!

      How could I forget Grandma’s cookies! I remember her telling me all about the pudding in them. I don’t know what it is about boys…all I know is they CANNOT find anything!

        Amy,

        I’m reporting back! I made these cookies today and they are yummy!! I love how moist they are. They have the right balance of coconut. I ate some of the cookie dough (shhh.. don’t tell!) and the cookie dough was pretty strong so I was a bit nervous but then I ate the cookies after they baked and it was the perfect amount of coconut flavor!! Yahoo!! Thanks for sharing your talents with us. Our household is grateful for your yummy recipes!

        P.S. I make the crockpot Cheesy Tortellini recipe all the time! I love how easy it is it tastes great. Double bonus! 🙂

          I’m glad someone is actually able to use and enjoy the recipes that come about because of my crazy cooking obsession! I primarily make cookies because I like the dough, so no raw cookie dough eating judgment from me! The coconut flavor does seem a little over the top at first but everything settles down in the oven! Thanks for following along on my crazy adventures!

    These look so pillowy-soft, and absolutely decadent! I’m definitely a coconut lover, and the wonderful coconut flavor from the pudding mix sounds fantastic – what a terrific flavor profile with the mix of coconut and chocolate! Double-yum!

    Hello Amy I just found your blog and am looking through all your delicious recipes! Could you tell me how many ounces are in a small package of instant coconut pudding as I do not live in the US I need the exact measurements so I can use the correct amount. Thanks so much. I love coconut and chocolate together so can’t wait to try these cookies!

    These are yummy cookies. I didn’t have coconut extract which would give a better coconut flavor. I didn’t add the extra coconut flakes as I only like the taste of coconut and not the flakes. My Husband says they are a gold star cookie. Gold star in our family means I want to eat often. Thanks for sharing this is my first pudding cookie.
