Oreo White Chocolate Pudding Peppermint Cookies-these cookies are festive and fun! A great addition to your holiday baking list!
More cookies? I hope you are saying that with excitement instead of banging your head on your keyboard. I am having too much fun baking cookies this holiday season. It really is the best time of year!
Our Oreo White Chocolate Pudding Cookies and our Pudding Chocolate Chip Cookies are one of the most popular cookie recipes on our site. I hope you’ve tried them! They are delish! I was going to bake a batch, but decided to add a holiday twist! I made Oreo White Chocolate Pudding Peppermint Cookies. These cookies are festive, fun, and perfect for December!
If you are taking plates of cookies to your neighbors, friends, and family, you have to add Oreo White Chocolate Pudding Peppermint Cookies. They will add some holiday bling to your plate:)
First, I started with Winter Oreos. I wanted to use the red Oreos to bring some holiday cheer to the cookies. If the red weirds you out or if you can’t find them, you can use regular Oreos. The cookies will still be tasty:)
The secret ingredient in these cookies is the White Chocolate Pudding Mix. It gives the cookies a nice flavor and it keeps the cookies super soft. If you can’t find white chocolate pudding mix, you can use vanilla. I’ve never had a problem finding white chocolate though!
I also added in chopped candy canes and white chocolate chips! Look at that pretty dough. It was hard not to eat:)
The cookies baked up beautifully! They taste like Christmas wrapped up in a cookie! I love the peppermint addition and the red Oreos really added some fun color!
Make sure you add Oreo White Chocolate Pudding Peppermint Cookies to your baking list. There is always room for more cookies:)

I think that these are some of the prettiest cookies I have EVER seen!!! They are so beautifully festive and I am thinking of adding them to my Christmas goodie baskets! I cannot wait to make them!!
I want to make these on a Wednesday for a cookie exchange on Sunday. How do you think they would freeze?
They freeze well! Enjoy!
they all look good
These are so cute…they look like melted Santas!
Has anyone tried freezing these?
My family doesn’t really like peppermint candy canes. Could you substitute dried cranberries for the candy canes?
You can leave them out! I haven’t tried cranberries, but they might be good!
Hi, I’m looking forward to making these, but can only find fat-free/sugar-free white chocolate pudding mix here in Canada. The package makes the same amount of servings once milk is added, but the powder weighs a lot less. Should I just use more powder to match the weight listed, or will the fat-free/sugar-free aspect ruin it? Thanks!
Can you freeze these?
Yes!
Just made these tonight to test them out before Christmas and they were super yummy! I substituted the winter Oreo red one with the Thin Oreo” because I hate all that yucky inside Oreo filling. I added just a dash more crushed candy cane to give the cookies that sprinkle of red color. The cookie is so festive and has a nice peppermint and white chocolate flavor. I highly recommend making these for the holidays!
Glad you liked the cookies! Happy Holidays!
I would like to know if these can be stored in the freezer, and for how long? I am making these for Christmas this year and thank you for the recipe; I have not made them yet but am sure they will taste delicious! ( I like to eat cookie dough too 🙂 )
This might be a stupid question – but do you make the pudding mix into pudding and add that to the cookies? Or do you just add the dry pudding mix into the cookie batter?
Just add the dry mix, don’t make the pudding.
I love this recipe! I’ve made this for the last 3 years and it’s a hit. I’ve added different addons to the basic dough (pecans and dark choc; choc oreos and dark choc; peppermint bark and oreos) and it’s amazing. Thanks so much for introducing me to this recipe!
You are welcome!
Can these be frozen? We absolutely love this recipe but I need to make a bunch in advance.
Yes, they freeze well! Bake away!
I made these tonight. The dough was so dry; is there not supposed to be any other liquid in the mix besides the butter and two eggs? The cookies had a good taste but they didn’t spread and were more crumbly than soft, and definitely looked nothing like the cookies pictured here. Any advice?
Has anyone tried to freeze the dough? Trying to get ahead on my cookie making game! 🙂
Yes, you can roll the cookies into balls and freeze the balls. Remove from freezer and bake. They will take a few extra minutes since the dough is frozen.
These have become my holiday cookies that everyone asks for. I started sticking up on winter Oreos. I also throw inn Andes peppermint chips just to give it more peppermint flavor. Awesome cookies
Yum! Glad you like the recipe!
My son and I love, love, LOVE this recipe. I have recommended it to others for their holiday baking.
I made these today, they were quite good and will make it into my regular Christmas cookie rotation! I did think the dough was a bit sparse and crumbly, so next time I think I will add a teaspoon or two of milk and also add in a little less Oreo, chips and candy cane. So pretty out of the oven for sure!
These are amazing! I altered the recipe a bit: I bought two 1.0oz boxes of the white choc pudding mix not realizing that I needed 3.4oz. I was afraid the recipe wouldn’t turn out right but it did! The dough was very think and I was afraid too dry, so I ended up rolling it in balls and smashing the top down. Also I put the oreos in a small food processer to break them up and even though the cookies were more dusty, it made the cookies appear more like the presence of Oreos. And instead of candy canes, I used the peppermint red candies, Andies brand. Amazing! I also baked them for 12-14 minutes instead of 10. OMG – this is so amazing!!!
I made these cookies for Christmas and they were delicious, as well as festive! I also just made them again, but instead of crushed peppermint, I used crushed red hot candies for Valentine’s Day cookies!
FANTASTIC! I made these for a cookie swap and they were a huge hit. I will add these to my holiday bake list from now on. **My cookies turned out more brown than white. It may be because I crushed my oreos rather than chopping them. They were still delicious!
I made these cookies for a women’s bible study cookie sampling at our church and I shared some with my boyfriend. They were all gone!! What a compliment to the recipe. Thank you for sharing!! 🙂 do you mind if I share this recipe on my blog?
Well I made the pudding- didn’t just add the powder- they turned out definitely not as pretty but taste super yummy! Thank you!
The second batch of these cookies are currently baking in the oven and my kitchen smells heavenly! I sampled one and they are wonderful!! The kids and husband arr hooked! A new Christmas cookie tradition has been made today! Thank you!
I made these for a cookie swap at work and they did not turn out as pretty as the ones pictured but are still really good! I did more crushing of the Oreos and candy canes than chopping so they don’t have big chunks of anything but chocolate chips. I went with original Oreos and vanilla pudding as well. Mine were also fine coming right off the cookie pan after they cooled. Thanks for the fun, tasty recipe!
I have been making these cookies every Christmas for the past 5 years. We love them so much! All our friends request them and my husband looks forward to December all year long just for these cookies. Thanks so much for this recipe! Like some other commenters, I like to add some Andes peppermint chips as well. They are so perfect.

All I can say is AMAZING!!! Everyone at my office, my family and friends loved them. Best Christmas cookie!!!
I’m SO anxious to try this recipe! Just wondering . . . any adjustments needed for high altitude? Thanks from Denver!
I live in Salt Lake City so you should be ok!
I made these for a cookie swap in my office. They were a big hit! I didn’t use the red Oreos because I am gluten free. But they were equally as pretty.
I used King Arthur One to One flour with no other changes. They turned out great!
Glad they were a hit!
Hi Maria!
So far, I have made your Ginger Snaps and Chocolate chip Pretzel Caramel cookies and I am so thrilled with the outcome! I’m not sure how I happened upon your site, but it has been most fortuitous!! Thank you for your hard work and your generosity in sharing these most delicious and timely cookie recipes❤️ Debra Johnson
I am so glad you found us! Glad you are enjoying our recipes.
Can only find sugar free pudding near me….any thoughts?
Can you use plain vanilla pudding? I have never tried sugar free. I don’t think it would work.

Yes!
These are a hit! It’s 2 days before Christmas and I’m making my 3rd batch. Everyone I’ve shared them with has requested the recipe. Keeper.
I am so glad you love the cookies!
One of my favorite Christmas cookies! I use Trader Joe’s Candy Cane Joe-Joe’s and also a 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract and these are gobbled up by all my family!
Can you spread the dough in a 9×13 baking dish and make them in to bars?
I am sure that would be fine!
