These will go down in history as the first recipe I made in our new home. I was giddy -- like a kid on Christmas morning -- to finally get my hands dirty, try out my new appliances and make something.
I used instant pudding mix in these cookies because I love how fluffy and tender it makes them. I've always used vanilla pudding mix in my cookies, but when I ran across this Pumpkin Spice Pudding Mix in the store, I knew I had a fall cookie on my hands.
These are not overwhelmingly pumpkin-y. My kids thought they were more of a white chocolate spice cookie -- so more emphasis on the "spice" and less on the pumpkin. I love these cookies because using real pumpkin often makes cookies really soft. These were crunchy on the outside and super tender on the inside. And they're nice and thick, so beautiful to look at or bring to a friend. If you can't find the Pumpkin Spice Pudding Mix in your store, you can order it on Amazon.
