Pudding Sugar Cookies



I found this recipe in a Taste of Home magazine about 7-8 years ago. These quickly became a family favorite. My husband especially loves them. They are very soft and melt in your mouth. I have only used vanilla flavored pudding mix but you could experiment with other flavors too.

1 c. butter, softened
1 c. vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
1 c. confectioners' sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 package (3.4 oz) vanilla instant pudding mix
4 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. baking soda

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, oil, and sugars for 4-5 minutes. Beat in eggs, vanilla, and dry pudding mix. Combine the flour, cream of tartar, and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture.
Drop by tablespoons 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Slightly flatten with a glass dipped in sugar. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes or until very lightly brown around the edges. Be careful to not over bake these. Immediately remove to wire racks and sprinkle with more sugar. YUM!!!

Yields about 7 dozen cookies.

I made these last night but replaced the egg with 1 Tablespoon of Flaxseed and 3 Tablespoons of water because my son is allergic to eggs. They were FABULOUS! I put some chocolate chips a few for my son and he was VERY happy. Not sure what the texture is when you use egg but the way I made them reminded me of Pecan Sandies but a little less dense. They were soft on the inside and crispy, but not hard on the edges. Thanks for sharing!
