Triple Chocolate Pudding Cookies
This amazing chocolate cookie was actually inspired by a different version of the recipe. A few years ago a student brought me cookies to thank me for writing letters of recommendation. The cookies were pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, and the secret ingredient was pumpkin spice pudding mix. It made the cookies so moist and gave them such a wonderful flavor. They were so good it was hard to save any to take home to share with my husband! I asked for the recipe because we couldn't get enough of them.
The last few years I bought up the pumpkin spice pudding mix in the fall and used it throughout the year to make those cookies. Unfortunately, it seems that this year Jell-O has discontinued the Pumpkin Spice pudding mix because I cannot find it any where! So sad! But, on the up side it pushed me to play with the recipe and try some new ways to make it using other flavors of pudding mix and mixing in other candies. I finally have landed on what I think is a combination that actually rivals the pumpkin cookies and the best part is that my son came up with the combination! Chocolate pudding with M&M's and Chocolate Chips mixed in!
This recipe is pretty versatile, so I would highly recommend trying out different combinations of pudding and mix-ins to get a cookie that you love. Here are some other combinations that myself and my cousin have tried that are pretty good: chocolate pudding with peanut butter chips, chocolate pudding with peppermint chips (available at Christmas time!), and banana pudding with chocolate chunks. Let me know if you try any combinations that are good- I love to try new ways to make cookies!
Below are step by step directions with pictures and a printable recipe is at the bottom! Enjoy!
