Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies

This recipe belongs to Chef-In-Training.com. IT IS FANTASTIC. You can find the original post here.

Note: It can be a treasure hunt to find pumpkin spice instant pudding mix. I found mine at Wal-Mart but I have heard of others having luck at Publix and Target.

INGREDIENTS

• 3/4 cup butter softened
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 small pkg. pumpkin spice instant pudding mix
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 2 1/4 cup flour
• 1-2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (I used dark chocolate chips)

INSTRUCTIONS

• Cream butter, brown sugar and sugar together in a large bowl.
• Add in dry pumpkin spice instant pudding mix and beat until well combined.
• Add eggs and vanilla and mix well.
• Add flour and baking soda and beat until well combined.
• Stir in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
• Roll dough into 1" balls. Place them on a greased baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes.

As it happens with all great cookies, these aren't very good for you but your taste buds will thank you, I promise. These cookies are super yummy and so rich! Also, a snap to make. My housemates engulfed them. Which, obviously, makes me feel like a 5-Star Ace.
