Oreo Pudding Cookies

Oreo Pudding Cookies

 I love making cookies and cupcakes and anything that people will love to eat. This is another pudding cookie recipe. I actually thought it was pretty tasty. I tried vanilla pudding cookies last summer and I thought they were one of the best cookies I have tasted so I decided to save this recipe and give it a try.  It never hurts to have to many cookie recipes.
I found this recipe at http://www.the-girl-who-ate-everything.com/2011/05/oreo-pudding-cookies.html. She found it at Sweet Treats And More.

Oreo Pudding Cookies

Source:  Sweet Treats And More

1 cup butter, room temperature

3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1 (4.2 ounce) package instant Oreo Pudding mix
2 1/4 cups flour 
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 Hershey's Cookies N Cream Candy Bars broken into small pieces (I used 2.6 ounce King Sized bars)
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Note: I found Oreo Pudding mix at my grocery store but I also saw it at our Walmart and Target.

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl and set aside. Cream together butter and sugars. Beat in pudding mix until blended. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix well. Add the flour mixture and mix to combine. Stir in cookies n' cream pieces and chocolate chips. Batter will be thick.

Using a cookie dough scooper, place golf ball sized dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes. You do not want to overbake these! Let cookies cool for 5 minutes on baking sheet before moving to a cooking rack. Store in air-tight container. Makes two dozen. (I make small cookies so for me this made four dozen)
