I am sitting here trying to think of something to say about these cookies, but I can’t think of anything other than “Sandy.”
No, these cookies aren’t sandy thankyouverymuch but there’s this monster hurricane AKA Frankenstorm heading right towards the east coast. Her name is Sandy. And I have to say, if we are gonna get hit by a monster storm that’ll turn our lives upside down for a bit, I feel like she should have had a more dramatic name. Hortensia, for example.
But either way, Sandy is headed here, and my prep involves charging my new iPhone (oh, did I forget to tell you guys that I finally got my iPhone 5? Yeah. It’s awesome.), charging my new lap top, charging my camera batteries, my old iPhone (still functions as an iPod touch) and freaking out about what I will do if I can’t recharge them. I also have pot of onion soup simmering on the stove, and a pot of split pea soup carefully packed in the freezer. But everyone knows you can’t get through a hurricane without fresh baked cookies, right? Well make these.
I made these ages ago, when my 4 year old niece came over to bake with me. She was completely in love with the concept of putting cookies inside of cookies. But wait, it gets better. There’s a whole lot of chips in these, making the crunch extra prevalent and totally awesome. Plus, there’s a secret ingredient in here that makes them magically chewy to offset the crunch factor. Wait, did I say secret? Well it’s right there in the title. The pudding mix totally elevates these cookies. Seriously a party in your mouth. The best part is…my four year old niece loved these cookies, and so did her parents. You will too!
Golden Crunch Pudding Cookies
Ingredients:
2 sticks butter or margarine
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 package instant vanilla pudding mix
10 golden oreos, chopped finely
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease and set aside.
In the bowl of your mixer, cream together the butter/margarine, sugar and brown sugar until creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla, one at a time, beating well to combine after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and pudding mix. With the mixer on a low speed, add the dry ingredients and beat until just combined.
Add the chopped oreos and the chips, and toss to distribute evenly.
Scoop out the cookie dough with a medium cookie scoop or a heaping tablespoon and place on prepared cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 9-10 minutes. Leave on tray for 2-3 minutes to cool, then remove to wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy!
Hope you all had a fabulous weekend, and you all stay safe, warm and dry through the storm! Enjoy the cookies and come back soon for a healthy recipe! – Miriam
Those look really lovely 🙂
These cookies are dreamlike. In this dreary weather with a hot vanilla tea… thanx!
I’m lucky enough to have tried these cookies straight from the source! 🙂 Oh how I wish I had a bunch more of these to get me through this storm…stay safe!
Make sure to keep your new phone dry!
Love the pudding flavors in your cookies and can imagine how yummy they must taste 🙂 Stay safe and hope Sandy is not destructive!
Hi!
I found your site through Joy the Baker and am so excited, because these cookies look detectible. I’ve seen pudding mix cookie recipes popping up all over the place, but these are the first I’ve found with Golden Oreos. Um, YUM. Cookie within a cookie? That can’t be anything but awesome.
Hi these look really good! Is it possible to use oil instead of butter/ margarine ? If so , how much?
Can’t say for sure, but if you try it use a bit less than the full cup. Lemme know how it turns out!
Stay safe Miriam! I am so worried about everyone in Sandy’s path. And you should totally send in a resume to the storm naming department. You can use me as a reference. Cuz your naming abilities far exceed whoever came up with Sandy. So underwhelming for a storm name.
Love these cookies. I just wanna grab one while I steal your IPhone and run off laughing.
thanks for this great recipe- I will make it for Shabbos! I hope you and everyone in the area is safe.
These cookies look so amazing! Can’t wait to try them. Thanks for stopping by my blog, and stay safe!
I’m absolutely LOVING various pudding recipes – I like the idea of trying it with butterscotch!
Hope you’re okay and have power and water. Hope your cookies got your through the storm. They look to me like they could cure just about anything that ails you!
Where did you buy this cookie jar? I had one like that from Ikea which one of my kids broke, and I can’t find another like it…
I want all of these in front of me. So badly.
These look amazing! Great pics!
I made these and theyre yummy but get overdone each time…any reason theyre baked @ 375?
Sorry you’re having a problem with these. Everyone’s oven is different, perhaps your cookies would come out better at a lower temperature.
Generally when I develop a new cookie recipe I try a few different temperatures then choose the one that worked best. You can also try reducing the bake time by a minute or two.
Can I use chocolate pudding and regular oreos without issue? Those I have in my pantry. LOL
If so, these would be perfect quick christmas cookies.
Please let me know.
That should work fine! Enjoy.
I would try the chocolate on chocolate with mint chips!
Thank you,I will try to do it.
I never tired of cookies, These cookies looks awesome!
How did you incorperate the pudding in and still be able to roll into a ball??
