Sugar Cookie Pudding Shots

These Sugar Cookie Pudding Shots have the flavor of classic holiday sugar cookies in a fun pudding shot package. Pretty, festive, and easy to make, these shots are a perfect addition to your next party.

If baking sugar cookies is your favorite holiday tradition, you’ll love these sugar cookie pudding shots. Sugar cookie coffee creamer is the secret ingredient that gives these festive shots their holiday cookie taste. Combined with creamy vanilla pudding, fluffy Cool Whip, and vodka, this recipe makes a creamy, sweet treat with a boozy kick that’s sure to be the hit of your holiday party.

Like most shots, these are budget-friendly and super simple to make, so they’re always a great choice for parties. This is also a nice change from (or addition to!) the typical Christmas Jello shot recipe. It’s perfect for those who prefer rich and creamy desserts and drinks over fruity ones.

Although this pudding shot recipe probably won’t replace your actual holiday cookie baking, it’s an incredibly fun and delicious treat that you need to try this holiday season!

It’s Easy – This simple recipe has just a few ingredients and is practically as easy as making instant pudding!

Ingredients

• Vanilla instant pudding mix (white chocolate pudding would also work)
• Sugar cookie creamer
• Vodka
• Whole milk
• Cool whip
• Whipped cream for topping (optional)
• Christmas sprinkles for topping (optional)
• Plastic shot cups or shot glasses

How to Make Sugar Cookie Pudding Shots

Step 1: Place the shot glasses (or disposable shot cups) on a shallow baking tray or cookie sheet. In a large bowl, whisk together the cold milk and pudding mix.

Step 2: Add sugar cookie creamer to the pudding mixture.

Step 3: Add vodka.

Step 4: Add the Cool Whip. Whisk until the mixture is well combined.

Step 5: Spoon pudding into the shot cups and move them to the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour. Before serving, top with whipped cream and festive sprinkles.

Tips & Tricks

• You can substitute vanilla vodka, whipped cream vodka, or even Bailey’s Irish Cream for the plain vodka in this recipe.
• Change it up by switching out the vanilla pudding for chocolate to make creamy chocolate pudding shots.
• Use a small cookie scoop or a frosting bag for an easy way to fill your shot cups with no mess.
• Serve these with some mini plastic spoons – your guests may find it easier to eat them like a dessert rather than taking them as a shot.

How Do I Store Sugar Cookie Pudding Shots?

Cover your shots with plastic wrap or lids and place them in an airtight container. If properly covered, they should keep for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
