Easy soft and chewy snickerdoodle cookies made with a box of vanilla pudding mix, and made orange and purple food coloring, making them the perfect treat this Halloween. Everyone will love the soft and chewy texture of the cookies and the delicious snickerdoodle flavors.
The cookie dough is made similar to a classic sugar cookie dough, except for the addition of vanilla pudding mix. Divide the cookie dough into two bowls, and mix one with purple food coloring and one with orange. Take a small amount of each cookie dough and roll together into balls. Roll each cookie in a mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Place cookies onto a large ungreased baking sheet at least 2-inches apart. Bake until the cookies are fully cooked through.
