🤫 Why Pudding Mix Is the Ultimate Cookie Hack

We’re not here to mess with nostalgia.

We’re here to elevate it.

Adding a packet of instant vanilla, butterscotch, or chocolate pudding mix to your cookie dough isn’t a gimmick—it’s a science-backed upgrade.

Here’s why it works:

✅ Cornstarch & milk solids in the mix help retain moisture = cookies stay soft for days

✅ Extra flavor depth without overpowering—vanilla enhances richness, butterscotch adds caramel notes

✅ Improved texture — chewier, thicker, less prone to spreading

✅ No dryness — even on day 3, they taste fresh from the oven

Think of it as giving your cookies a hydration boost—like a facial mask, but for dough. 💆‍♀️🧁

And don’t worry—your kids won’t taste “pudding.”

They’ll just say, “Mom, these are BETTER.”
