These Three Ingredient Pumpkin Spice Pudding Cookies were made with a free sample of Jif Whips from Smuckers.

Pumpkin Spice Pudding Cookies

I love getting deliveries and fun things in the mail. With the holidays right around the corner, I’ve been getting packages like crazy and one of the boxes had a ton of bubble wrap in it. My brother-in-law in his kids came over to our house and I told the kids that they could have the bubble wrap to pop. Of course, they were delighted…until they tried actually popping it…and couldn’t. It was a some new kind of bubble wrap that doesn’t pop. Each of the bubbles is connected to the bubble next to it with a small space. So when you try to pop a bubble, the air is simply squished into the bubbles next to it. They worked at if for a while and eventually were able to get one bubble to pop! Even though the bubble wrap was a bust, I was able to make these easy, three ingredient pumpkin spice pudding cookies using the peanut butter from one of my deliveries. And they were a hit!

Pudding Cookies Ingredients

These cookies only require three ingredients…unless you want to roll them in sprinkles or add a Hershey’s Kiss and then it is four ingredients. It doesn’t get much easier than that! I used vanilla pudding, pumpkin spice whipped peanut butter and an egg.

cookie dough balls

Mix the three ingredients in a bowl until well combined. Use a small cookie dough scoop (mine was one tablespoon) to scoop the dough. Roll the dough into balls and place them on a baking sheet covered with a silicone baking mat or a piece of parchment paper.

Roll in sugar

If you want to add some sparkle and shine to the cookies, roll the dough balls in sugar. I used orange sugar sprinkles since these cookies are pumpkin spice flavor. If you don’t have any of the sparkling sprinkles, you could also use granulated sugar.

Cross Hatch Cookies

Use a fork to make a crosshatch pattern on the cookies. Or if you plan to add Hershey’s Kisses to your peanut butter cookies, leave them as a ball without the crosshatch on top.

baked cookies

Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.

Hersheys Kiss on cookies

If using Hershey’s Kisses (these are the pumpkin spice flavor), press one into the center of each cookie right after they come out of the oven.

Pudding cookies stack

These cookies are so easy to make and since there are only 14 cookies in one batch, you don’t have to worry about going overboard on sweets.This would be a great recipe for a baker-in-training! I shared these cookies with some kids after school and they quickly disappeared.

    Hi Tonia,
    Disappointment here and feeling defeated I was gonna make different kinds of cookies to send to my family and well I tried this recipe 2 ways a few with the cross hatch and left a few balls with the hershey’s chocolate chip I had. Anyway the crosshatch turned into a very oil greasy mess and didn’t spread ended up with a burnt 1 inch hard rock. lol.
    the balls never flattened either like a cookie stayed ball shaped and burned on the bottom.
    I was very sad and threw the cookies away and put everything away.
    No cookie for the family maybe next year.

    I wonder if you could use sugar free pudding? My husband loves these.

    Do you make the pudding first or just use the instant pudding powder?

      Well, I made a batch with pumpkin spice pudding….yum! Then I made a batch with the vanilla pudding…more yummy! I guess the pumpkin spice pudding was overkill of pumpkin flavor. The original recipe wins!

        I made a batch with the pumpkin pudding mix but used regular peanut butter. They turned out great but I think I might add a bit of pumpkin spice to bump up the flavor. Great recipe, thanks!

    My kids used to love popping bubble wrap by riding their bikes over the sheets, but it sounds as if the new stuff just wasn’t made to be popped! What a fun and easy cookie that anyone should be able to make! I need to buy a tub of that yummy looking Jif whipped peanut butter and get to baking! There’s so many flavor combinations that could be made from this recipe…Thanks for the great idea, Tonia!
