Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies
Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies are superb tasting cookies! And why not? It’s based on my Luscious No-Bake Chocolate Bars or Nanaimo Bars as our Canadian friends refer to them. These cookies actually started out as my Luscious No-Bake Chocolate Bars recipe. and Then I realized I’d made a mistake by using the whole package of vanilla pudding mix instead of just two tablespoons! I hated to throw out all that scrumptious buttercream icing. So I added most of the ingredients from the chocolate bars and made these amazing cookies instead!

Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies are made with chocolate chips, coconut, pecans, graham cracker crumbs. They also include buttercream frosting, a package of French vanilla pudding mix, and flour mixed in. I baked these cookies 4 minutes and then pulled them out of the oven and pressed down with a fork in criss-cross fashion before baking them a final 4 minutes. That allowed the chocolate to achieve the more gooey appearance, since pressing the fork tines into the warm chocolate redistributed and swirled the chocolate a little bit.
Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies are a wonderful confection that would be great to bring along to Christmas Cookie exchanges or other Christmas and year-end parties. They have great texture, crunch, flavor, and a nice gooeyness with the partially melted chocolate. If you’re looking for a great cookie for holiday baking than consider these tasty treats. They’re not overly difficult to make either. You’re family will be so pleased sinking their teeth into these fantastic cookies, and your company will make sure you don’t have any leftovers!
Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies are a delight to eat!
Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies are partially baked then the cookie pressed down with a fork in a criss-cross fashion. That’s what gives the chocolate a swirling pattern.
These treats sure are yummy!
Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies contain chocolate chips, vanilla pudding, coconut, pecans, and graham cracker crumbs.
Here’s what I did.
Soften butter. Add a box of French vanilla pudding mix.
Add milk. Add powdered sugar.
Mix with an electric mixer until creamy. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine eggs and vanilla.
Combine egg mixture with frosting mixture and mix again.
Add graham cracker crumbs and UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour. Bleached flour toughens baked goods.
Add coconut, chopped pecans and chocolate chips.
Stir ingredients with a wooden spoon.
Either roll mixture into balls or press into an ice cream scoop and place cookie dough on cookie sheets that have been sprayed with cookie spray.
Bake cookies about 4 minutes at 350.
Remove cookies from oven and press down with a fork in a criss-cross fashion.
Return to oven and bake 4 additional minutes at 350 or until done. (You can also do this before you bake the cookies initially). Allow the cookies to cool in pan before serving.
Here’s a plate of Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies. These are great cookies to put on your Christmas Cookie exchange list. These cookies have a wonderful texture. They don’t flatten out while baking like some cookies do.
Here’s a close up of Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies. I love the gooeyness of these cookies. That won’t happen if you press the cookies with a fork before you bake them.
Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies are terrific for tailgating parties and potlucks.
These cookies will cure any sweet tooth craving. Especially if you enjoy Nanaimo Bars!

these cookies are crunchy, not chewy?

Well, they are crunchy from the nuts and some of the ingredients, but they’re not a cookie that’s hard to chew like some crunchy cookies can be. In that regard they’re kind of soft and chewy. Does that make sense?
