I can’t believe that August starts tomorrow. Hip Hip Hooray!!!
The summer has been going well with us staying busy with lots of cleaning, days at the pool, doing lots of Girl Scout badges, and doing socially distant activities. We have been doing a lot of local adventures, like hikes too. So much fun!
We are staying busy but my poor planner is basically just a book for doodling and grocery shopping lists. One thing always on my list is pudding. Pudding cookies are the best so I always need to be prepared to make them when a craving hits.
Chocolate Pudding Cookies with Peanut Butter Chips
My daughter proclaimed that these are her favorite cokies.
I mean, she sorta says that all the time when I make cookies, but she honestly has been having me make these all the time since I first started to make them.
The cookie itself is subtly chocolate with the chocolate pudding mix added into the cookie dough. Then you add in yummy chocolate chip and peanut butter chips- the perfect pair!
To get started, beat together the butter and sugars until light in color and fluffy in texture.
Then add in the pudding mix. Once that is evenly Incorporated add in the eggs and vanilla extract.
Add in the flour and baking soda until just combined.
Lastly, add in the peanut butter and chocolate chips to the dough.
Roll into 36 golf ball sized cookies. Let chill for at least an hour before baking.
Bake the cookies at 350F for 8-12 minutes. They will be just set in the center. Let them sit on the cookie sheet for just a few minutes to set up before moving. Don’t leave them on there or they will over cook!
You’ll enjoy making a batch of these Peanut Butter Chip Chocolate Pudding Cookies because once you try them you’ll proclaim their ability to uplift your mood and bring you joy. Yum!
What are pudding cookies?
Pudding cookies are simply cookies with pudding mix in the dough. You don’t add pudding to the dough, just the mix. It does this sort of magical thing to make them soft and tender. Perfection!
Can I freeze these cookies?
Absolutely! I typically only bake a few cookies when I make a batch of cookies so I roll them into the balls, freeze on a cutting board, then remove to a plastic bag.
I then bake them directly from the freezer. Because I am baking a frozen ball of cookie dough, I will cook it for 10- 14 minutes. The center tends to be extra ooey and gooey when you bake them from frozen- yum!
