Mint Chocolate Pudding Cookies #ChristmasWeek #ChocolateParty

Welcome to Christmas Week, a multi-blogger event co-hosted by Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic and Jen of Juanita’s Cocina. Each day we will be celebrating a new holiday baking theme where each blogger makes a dish they love. We hope you enjoy this fabulous event. Tune in each day starting Monday December 3rd and ending Friday December 7th.

Today also happens to be the December #ChocolateParty, where our themed ingredient was peppermint/mint.  Considering chocolate and mint are my favorite combination this time of year, this was easy for me!

I can’t even tell you how good these cookies were.  I took them into my son’s school for the teachers, and I had an email right away asking when I was posting the recipe.  I made these over a month ago, so I had to send the recipe ahead of time.  These were that good, they couldn’t wait.  Pudding is magic in cookies, I have said that before.  But it still makes me happy every time I use it 🙂  They are just so soft and chewy, even days later!

I made a similar cookie last year using Andes Mints, but this time I used the baking bits.  The bits are perfect, you get a little mint in each bite.  If you can’t find the bits, you could just chop up a the regular sized mints.  That might even be better, because then you get bigger chunks 🙂  If you are a fan of chocolate and mint, trust me when I say you HAVE to try these!

    You were smart to do a double duty post! Your cookies sound fantastic…I have never added pudding mix, but you are reinforcing what I’ve heard! I need to try these 🙂

    I have never used pudding in a cookie. Is it the instant kind? I can just imagine how smooth they must be and mint with chocolate is So good!

      Yes the instant kind. Gives if the flavor, and makes them super soft and chewy!

    These cookies make me wish that they sold Andes baking chips here in Canada… but then again, it’s probably for the best, because I have no willpower when mint and chocolate are involved, so I’d probably eat the whole bag in one sitting and leave none for the cookies. 🙂
    I’ve never tried making cookies with pudding mix before, but I’m intrigued… might just have to pick up some mix next time I’m at the store so I can try these out!

    Look at you being all smart with working this for both parties. I’m loving the idea. The mint cookies the Girl Scouts sell are one of Hubby’s favorite so I’ll bet he’d love these too.

    You were smart to think of a treat to fit both parties. Saves on calories too. 🙂 It’s my first time around working with a blogger event… talk about biting my nails on this one. Usually I just go with the flow of what I have going on at home. 🙂 I love chocolate and mint together… these cookies are a winner. 🙂
