Chocolate Pudding Rolo Cookies

It seems like forever since I have posted a cookie recipe for you.  Taking a quick peek at the archives and it looks like The Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie was the last real cookie I shared, and that was back in May!  One should never go that long without cookies, I apologize! But I am here today to make it up to you.

Pudding cookies are kind of magic.  If you have never tried it, you really need to.  You can add any flavor pudding you like to a cookie (it will taste like that flavor), and it leads to thick, chewy, and super soft cookies.  Remember the Butterscotch pudding cookies?  Loved those!  Well this time I went the chocolate route.  And I have been having a serious chocolate and caramel craving lately, so I picked up some mini Rolo’s to throw in the mix.

I made these cookies for part of OXO’s Bake a Difference with #OXOGoodCookie.   During the month of September, OXO will be donating $100 to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer for each blog post that is dedicated to this campaign.  For every specially marked item sold, OXO will donate 25 cents in support of pediatric cancer research as part of its $100,000* pledge to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer. (Look for specially marked OXO products at participating retailers.)
