Pudding Snickerdoodle Cookies

I have been CRAVING some snickerdoodle cookies for months now!!  

I remember eating these all the time when I was little and I can't even remember the last time I actually baked them.

Now that I have finally discovered my new passion for pudding cookies I decided to give this recipe a try; using of course pudding!!

And if you haven't jumped on the cookie pudding wagon, then you must start now!

Well of course they were fantastic and chewy, the way a snickerdoodle cookie is meant to be!!

Pudding Snickerdoodles

1 stick butter, softened
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups flour
3 eggs
1 pkg vanilla instant pudding mix
2 tsp cream of tarter
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

For the topping:
3 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp cinnamon

Cream butter, sugar and eggs together until combined. Add the remaining ingredients together until well blended.  Cover and place in fridge for 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  in a small bowl combine sugar and cinnamon. Roll cookie dough into 1" balls and roll in cinnamon sugar mixture.   On a greased cookie sheet bake for 10 minutes.  Cool on wire rack.
*Do not over cook, they are meant to be chewy and soft. They may not look done, but trust me they are done!
