Lemon Blueberry Pudding Cookies
Updated July 05, 2019
Soft lemon pudding cookies with dried blueberries and white chocolate chips. A great cookie for summer!
School is out for the summer and the neighborhood kids are out and about. We live across the street from the park so we see lots of kids coming and going. Caleb loves sitting on the porch so he can wave to everyone. I like sitting on the porch so when friends walk by, I can give them cookies. I made Lemon Blueberry Pudding Cookies and passed them out to everyone that walked by. Cookies are a great conversation starter! I love sharing cookies, but I love catching up with our neighbors even more. It’s great to see everyone after hibernating for the winter.
I love making pudding cookies because they are soft and stay soft for days. Plus, everyone loves them. Every time I make a pudding cookie, they get rave reviews. A few of my favorites include: Oreo White Chocolate Pudding Cookies, Butterscotch Pudding Triple Chip Cookies, and Vanilla Pudding Chocolate Chip Cookies. These Lemon Blueberry Pudding Cookies are also at the top of my list. They are delicious!
I used a lemon pudding mix to make the cookies. I also added in the zest of one lemon to bring out the lemon flavor. I added in dried blueberries because lemon and blueberries are a match made in heaven. The dried blueberries are sweet and add a nice chewy texture. I also threw in some white chocolate chips because chocolate is always a good idea if you ask me!
These cookies are soft and chewy with a refreshing lemon flavor. Josh loved them and so did all of neighbors that walked by.
And you want to know who else who loved them? Our little pea! He snuck up on me while I was taking pictures and tried to help himself to a plate of cookies. He’s a little cookie monster!
Brighten your day with a batch of Lemon Blueberry Pudding Cookies. I think I will make a batch for the 4th of July. They are missing the red part of red, white, and blue, but oh well:)
And if you are in our neighborhood, wave to us on the patio and ask for some cookies. We are always happy to share! We love spreading the cookie love!
Lemon Blueberry Pudding Cookies

These were DELICIOUS! I made them to take to the lake and they were a huge hit. Yummy!
I’ve made these and they’re a BIG HIT! I’ve changed them up a bit and used white vanilla chip with the blueberries and also used cranberries with the white vanilla chip! Brought them to work and family gatherings!They’re perfect for a baby shower and wedding shower! Love these cookies!
Glad you like the cookies!
There used to be a different recipe here with cookies that were a little less flat. Where did that one go?
I love this recipe and have made it several times. It’s always a huge hit. The only thing I do different is add juice of 1 lemon to the batter. I’ve also made this gluten free.
These were so delicious! And so easy to make. Thanks for the great recipe.
Hi Maria! I just made these cookies and they taste very good but they’re thick, not flat like yours in the pictures. Should I have flattened them a bit before baking?
Also, I bought a sugar free lemon pudding mix and it’s 1oz as opposed to the standard 3.4oz box. So according to the recipe, I’d have to buy 3 boxes? This doesn’t seem right given the boxes are the same size.
My cookies never flatten out. They do not spread out, but they taste great!!!
These were the best cookies ever. I made them and brought them to work and weeks later people are still talking about them. I am making more at the moment!
