These White Chocolate Cookies & Cream Cookies are the perfect mix of a chewy center, crunchy edge, and all sorts of chocolaty goodness mixed throughout…with a surprise ingredient, too!
*******************
Well, well, well. When’s the last time you guys saw a recipe around here? Way too long, I know.
Honestly, I had no intention of even sharing this recipe on the blog. Over the weekend, I wound up making a quick batch of White Chocolate Cookies & Cream Cookies with Lucas, and they turned out so well that I just had to snap a couple of quick pictures and throw ’em in a post. Maybe I’ll try to make them again soon so I can take some new pictures, because I know these really are not good.
But for now, this is what you get because I suddenly decided I was too excited not to share. And ohhhhhh, they. are. GOOD.
Wayyyyy back in the day (i.e., in 2010!) I shared a recipe for Chocolate Butterscotch Cheesecake Cookies, which is what I used as a guide for this particular recipe. Way back then, I was constantly looking for ways to “healthify” a recipe (ugh), so that one included applesauce, and less eggs — which is fine — but these days, if I’m making cookies we’re just going all butter.
And the secret ingredient in these cookies that REALLY contributes to their amazing texture is the pudding mix. They’re nice and soft on the inside, with just the slightest crunchy edge (aka, my favorite kind of cookie).
I also had a bag of these Hershey’s Cookies ‘N’ Creme baking chips on hand, so that’s what I decided to use for this recipe. I really liked these and would definitely buy them again, but they’re certainly not required for these cookies; mix it up with your favorite chips and make them your own!
