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!

  1. 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 🙂

  4. 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!

  15. 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. 🙂

    • I usually go with the flow too – this is my first event like this. Timing worked out for me though, with Thanksgiving, so I didn’t have a cake and a pie, and cookies etc. at my house 🙂

  20. The pudding must make these so moist. I have some mint fans here and can’t wait to give these a try when we bake Christmas cookies:)
