pudding cookies with oreos

to those of you who check this blog
it's your lucky day!

i'm posting a second recipe from my day of baking

this one is called pudding cookies, because they use jello pudding
my mom used to make these cookies when i was a kid
and i loved them because they never failed
they were delicious
and you could change the flavor based on the pudding you used!

also, recently i heard that someone i know put oreos into their cookies. brilliant!
so i decided to make a batch of these cookies, using chocolate fudge pudding (my personal favorite, although i have been known to enjoy vanilla, butterscotch & even pistachio pudding cookies)

i made one pan with oreos & one pan without
michael has already had one, straight from the oven
and then he was walking around with chocolate on his face
enjoying himself too much to care i suppose :)

so here is the recipe & some photos

Pudding Cookies

2 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 (4oz) Jello instant pudding
2 eggs
1 (12 oz) pkg chocolate chips

Mix flour with baking soda. Combine butter, sugar, pudding mix and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Beat until smooth and creamy. Beat in eggs. Gradually add flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips. Dough will be stiff. Drop from teaspoon onto ungreased cookie sheet. Cookies do not spread out, so you can place them fairly close together.

Bake at 375 degree for 8-10 minutes.

If you want to add an oreo, grab a teaspoon of dough, and flatten it. place oreo on top of dough and then wrap the dough around it completely. Place on cookie sheet.

enjoy!
