For the past several years, I’ve seen plenty of Jell-O brand pumpkin spice pudding mix at Target and Walmart. This is the first year in a really long time that I haven’t been able to track it down!! I was panicking at first– because my very favorite pumpkin chocolate chip cookies HAS TO have pumpkin pudding mix in the dough. I still haven’t found Jell-O brand pumpkin spice pudding mix (seriously, what the heck?!). But I did find this Royal Delights Pumpkin Spice Dessert Mix at Walmart this year. And it’s 100% on point ????????. It works just fine (maybe even better!) in all my recipes that call for pumpkin spice Jell-O, and I’ve been really happy with it ☺️. Tips for Making White Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Snickerdoodles Don’t expect these to be fluffy and cake-y like a traditional pumpkin cookie– they are NOT! These are chewy, buttery cookies with a texture just like a real snickerdoodle. Along those lines… this recipe only calls for 2 TABLESPOONS of real pumpkin. The rest of the pumpkin flavor comes from the pudding mix. The best way I’ve found to store leftover pumpkin is in a mason jar with a lid. That way I won’t forget about it (since the container is clear), and it doesn’t feel like it clutters up the fridge so much when it’s in a jar. These are pretty big cookies (1/4 cup dough per cookie), so they need to bake for a minute or two more than standard size cookies typically bake.
