These Oreo Pudding Cookies are a family favorite! They’re crispy at the edge, but adding pudding mix into the batter keeps them heavenly soft & chewy in the center!
Oreo Pudding Cookies
This past weekend my husband participated in a “race”. It involved running up mountains, climbing over walls, jumping off cliffs and crawling through mud…among other things. He came home from the race in pain. He had rope burns, abrasions, bruises, splinters, gashes and a limp.
And a smile.
I don’t understand.
So he basically hasn’t been able to move since Saturday. Apparently he plans on doing it again next year. AND he asked if I wanted to do it with him.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
I promptly introduced myself to him. Because apparently he has suffered from some brain contusion that affects his memories.
He then told me I should “think outside the box”. Mmmmkay.
I asked him under what circumstance I would ever crawl through mud, up a hill underneath barbed wire? Unless there is a Louis Vuitton waiting at the end for me, there is zero chance I would ever participate in such an activity.
I can’t even guarantee that if a crazy clown ax murderer was chasing me that I would do that. I’m pretty sure I would just lay down and play dead. That’s my “escape from a murderer tactic”, btw. Feel free to use it. I mean, chances are I won’t be able to outrun anyone, so playing dead is really the next available option.
You can pass that little nugget along.
Anyway, let’s talk about cookies.
How to Make Oreo Pudding Cookies
These are pudding cookies.
Actually, they are Oreo Pudding cookies. If you don’t have Oreo pudding, just use vanilla. If you don’t have pudding at all, don’t make these cookies. Sorry.
And I also used chopped up Cookies and Cream Dove Promises. If you can’t find Dove Promises, use Hershey’s Cookies and Creme Bars. If you can’t find the Hershey’s Bars either, you could use Cookies and Creme Drops. If you don’t have any of those things, don’t make these cookies. Sorry.
Mix up your simple cookie dough, using the entire pack of dry pudding mix. Fold in your chopped candies and some extra Oreo Cookies if you’re feeling crazy!
Scoop them out onto a baking sheet, and bake them up!
Like I said, the edges are slightly crispy and the centers are soft and chewy. This is a cookie that everyone in my family agrees on!
