Reese's Peanut Butter Pudding Cookies recipe is one of my favorite recipes! If you want you can make half and freeze the rest of the dough for later (or double the recipe and freeze half of the mix!) These are the softest cookies I've made and taste oh so yummy.

would you have to make any tweaks to this recipe to make them into bars?
Hmmmm Gina – I wouldn’t think so? I would just put in a pan and baked until cooked through! Let me know if it works for you!
How much brown sugar is used? It says “1/2 light brown sugar.” I assume it’s 1/2 cup, but just want to double check! Thanks.
Yes Megan ~ 1/2 cup! 🙂 Just updated the recipe!
Just made these today – so easy and they are delicious! Great addition to my Christmas cookie arsenal!
So glad you enjoyed them Sarah – thanks for sharing!
I was wondering when you add the honey. Also, do you just use the unprepared pudding mix or do you prepare the pudding? Thank you!
Hey Amanda! You add the pudding mix without preparing just the powder and add the honey after the vanilla (step 6). I will update that. Thanks!!
Hello!! I am actually wondering what size box of vanilla pudding you need for this. There is a large box and a small box and there is no amount listed in the ingredient list unfortunately. Thank you!
Hi Jen! So sorry about that – it’s a 3.4 oz box. Hope that helps!
