Chocolate Mint Oreo Pudding Cookies

I may never make another cookie that doesn't involve pudding. SO soft, so chewy, and they stay ‘fresh’ for way longer. I say ‘fresh’ because the addition of a boxed pantry good makes it a little suspect, like it could be a faux freshness. But, I don’t care.  Plus, the flavor and filling opportunities are endless. We had our annual St. Patrick’s Day party last weekend, so I added Andes Mints and Mint Oreo Cookies to a standard chocolate pudding cookie recipe (for Christmas I made these).

If you want them to turn out greener, you could search harder for green chocolate chips (or order these on Amazon, because you can order everything on Amazon).

Recipe

• 3/4 cup butter, room temp
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 small package Chocolate Pudding Mix
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 2 1/4 cups flour
• 1 1/2 cups Andes Chocolate Mints (or green chips of choice)
• 1 cup crushed Mint Oreo Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350. Cream the butter and sugars together, then add pudding, eggs, and vanilla. Combine the soda and flour together in a separate bowl, then add to the butter mixture. Mix in the chocolate mints and Oreos. Roll into 1-inch balls on a parchment lined baking sheet, then bake for 8-10 minutes. Happy Spring!
