Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies are so fun to make with kids – this is an easy Christmas treat that uses instant pudding to make the chewiest, softest cookies ever!
I'm back with the next installment in my Christmas cookies mini-series today!
Alright – I have made it known that I am a big fan of chewy, melt-in-your-mouth kind of cookies. If you are too, you've absolutely got to try Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies. They taste like a lava cake in a cookie! You get all of the richness of the peanut butter and the sweetness of the chocolate in one gooey bite.
The secret to the magic in these cookies is the pudding mix. It might sound strange, but it gives it this richness and gooeyness that you can't get anywhere else.
This is an incredibly easy recipe to make with kids – there aren't a ton of ingredients, but you still get that “made from scratch” feel from it. Kids love mixing the dry ingredients and sneaking a chocolate chip or two! 🙂
Let's take a look at the recipe.
