Mocha Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies are soft, fudgy and chocolatey. Made with chocolate pudding mix, cocoa powder, a combination chocolate chips and chunks these cookies are delicious and packed full of chocolatey flavour. Â
If there was ever a cookie that tasted like a chocolate cake but giving cookie vibes then it’s Mocha Chocolate Chip cookies. And the secret to this is the addition of chocolate pudding mix.Â
Pudding mix is usually used on it’s own for a quick dessert or in pies. Years ago I saw a cookie recipe and I just knew I had to make it. And I was not disappointed.Â
The cookies are soft, fudgy and stay soft for days.Â
Let's get into the details of this Mocha Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies
The key ingredients for these cookies are:
Chocolate pudding mix. I use the Jello brand. The pudding mix keeps the cookies super soft and moist. Just add the dry instant pudding mix to the cookie batter.Â
Brown sugar stops the cookies from spreading thin and adds flavour.Â
Coffee Extract enhances the flavour of the chocolate. You can also use instant coffee or espresso powder.Â
Tips for making Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies
Use a scale to measure out your ingredients correctly.Â
Cream your butter and sugars until light and fluffy. This creates air pockets and help make the cookies thick and chewy.Â
Use a mixture of milk and dark chocolate to balance out the flavours.Â

I made these last night. I needed to use up a package of pudding that I had used a bit from over the holidays. I had to use instant expresso powder as I had no coffee extract. I also threw in some chopped bittersweet chocolate as this is another item I am trying to use up leftovers. Also I added called for chocolate chips. The results? I would say one of the best chocolate cookies I have made and I have made many chocolate cookies! This recipe is a keeper! Thanks for posting!
Thank you Linda , really glad you love the recipe. Genius idea using bits left over from the holidays. Going to add chopped chocolate to mine next time i make these cookies. Totally agree with you about this recipe being a keeper.
