I started using instant pudding in cookie dough. Has anyone else tried that?

Just wanted to say hello and welcome… Sorry but I don’t use pudding in baking. But it’s a common method in cake and cookies.

Are you liking the results? What types of cookies are you baking with it?

 

[Stan]

Thank you. I bake mostly chocolate chip cookies using cheese cake or white chocolate instant pudding. Tonight I made a double batch using chocolate fudge and cookies and cream instant pudding.

Oh, those sound delicious. There can never be enough chocolate chip cookies in the world.

Do you bake other things beside cookies?

 

[Stan]

Oh yeah. Pies, cakes, and rolls. I also use instant pudding when I bake cakes.

I always tell people that baking was a passion, now it's a obsession.

This is my world. CCC are my jam!!!

The best thing is that can use one idea and turn into a thousand different ideas for cookies. It's amazing!

Welcome to the forum @Stan! You're in good company, we're all cookie fans here

I've not tried the pudding trick, but it's not a popular thing here in the UK.

So lovely a gesture. Food gives us our place in family and community. It connects us to our past and our present. It gives us an understanding of who we are, and from where we came. It is our memory, and the memories of our children.

People really appreciate more and so do I when I see the smiles on their faces.

Lol, yes...we know the feeling.

Yes. It’s such a good feeling to see people enjoy your baked goods. I can’t eat gluten (celiac), but I bake 3-4 times a week then gift to others. I love to bake. I love gifting it to others.

I only bake Saturday afternoon right now.

Yummmy. I love berries. Got a pic of your cake?

I shredded butter on top, but unfortunately I ended up using a potato peeler instead. Highly recommend like a cheese grater. I froze the butter also.

That didn’t come out too bad at all. I love cherry anything. I miss the sour cherries on the east coast. I can’t for the life of me understand how California can be the one of the top cherry growing states, but not grow a single sour cherry

Dump cakes are great for the pure ease and the fact you can feed a crowd with 5 mins of work.

Yes freezing butter then grating it is best. I’ll use frozen grated butter when baking a flaky tart shell.

Today, I baked Chewy Chocolate Chip Sugar Cookies. Turned out pretty good. No one complained yet anyway. Taking some to church tomorrow.
