Pumpkin pie pudding.
Now say that three times fast.
This is a new recipe and I have some thoughts.
The first thought is that the pudding was required to be pumpkin spiced. Yeah, but according to the ingredients it is only spices. And I have a pumpkin pie spice container that I concocted myself.
The reason I point it out is because none of my local stores had a pumpkin pie pudding 3.4 oz packet. Heck, they had no pumpkin pie pudding at all. Full stop. Amazon had it but Amazon and I are having a beef these days. Or rather I am having a beef with Amazon and only ordering minimal things from there. So I can clearly not choose this option.
So I made my own dry vanilla pudding recipe, measured out 3.4 ounces and add as much pumpkin pie spice to the vanilla pudding mixture as my heart desired. Hint, it was at least 2 tsp, maybe more. No I did not measure.
My second thought is that the 12 oz of white chocolate chips is entirely too many. I usually add half a bag of chips. Which would have me adding 6 oz of white chocolate chips. All those chips made the dough hard to stir and scoop out.
My second and a half thought is that mini white chocolate chips would be better. The regularly sized chips made for a lumpy cookie. Pretty cookie, but lumpy.
My third thought was what other pudding flavors could I mock up and use in a cookie.
Perhaps in the new year.
