Cherry White Chocolate Pudding Cookies-using Jello to give them that perfect Cherry flavor

It’s almost Valentine’s. This is probably the last year I’ll get to make treats for my daughter’s class. She’s in 5th grade and I guess when you get to middle school you’re too grown up for things like parties in class and sweet treats made by Mama.

Only 4 months left to make treats for my baby. I’ve got every possible occasion marked on my calendar. St. Patty’s, Easter, Field Day, her Birthday, end of year party.

I’ll probably sneak a few treats in for the teachers and staff along the way. This year will be an end of an era. All of my children went to this school. the teachers and staff are like a second family. Both the Middle school and High School are good schools also but …

You moms all know what I’m saying. It’s going to be different next year.

When I saw these cookies from Sally’s Baking Addiction, I just had to run to the kitchen. So pink, so pretty and a great flavor combination! I love using Jello in baking and I knew I could make something almost as pretty with what I had in the cabinets.

Yes, I have partial packets of Jell-O in my baking cabinet, as I’ve told you before, using it as a flavoring is the bomb. Just try adding a tablespoon of it to a vanilla milkshake!

I made 2 different recipes for these cookies. This is the recipe the family voted to share. I’m still going to work on the other one. I think it has possibilities.

Cherry White Chocolate Pudding Cookies

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons Cherry flavored Jello
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 package instant white chocolate pudding (3.3 ounces)
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 bag white chocolate chips

Instructions

Cream butter, sugar and Jello together. Add eggs and vanilla, cream again.
Combine flour, pudding mix, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl then slowly add to butter mixture.
Once all combined, fold in chocolate chips.
Spoon cookie dough by rounded tablespoons (I use a medium cookie scoop) onto parchment lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 8-10 minutes. Let cool on cookie sheets for 5 minutes before removing to racks to cool completely.

About Grace

When I was younger, I was constantly in the kitchen helping my mom bake. It was fun getting to play with the flour and always getting to lick the spoon. I’ve always expressed an interest in baking and now I feel that it’s the right time for me to take over. I am a college student working towards a nursing degree as well as a full-time aunt to the sweetest little kids (they might pop up in some of the posts). I’ve learned most of what I know about baking and cooking from my mom, and I am continuing to self-teach through trial and error, which means plenty of sweets to be eaten. Read more...

Our schools don’t allow home baked treats even in the elementary schools :(. Still, it was a shock, after 10 years in a row, to not be a “room mother” when my youngest went off to middle school. Maybe that’s why I send my son so many college care packages! I understand your sense of baking urgency :)I have been using different varieties of pudding mix in cookies but I haven’t tried jello yet. Your pretty pink cookies have convinced me. They sound great!

Are you using instant pudding or cook-type pudding?

Oh yum! These are so pretty! I can relate to your sense of urgency too. My son’s friends still appreciate the homemade snacks that are always available at our house though – so keep that cookie jar and freezer well-stocked! lol
