Oreo Pudding Cookies

Wow, sorry for the little hiatus. Arizona was good to me.  Our Ragnar Relay was so much fun and our team even placed 28th out of 306 teams.  It was a pleasant surprise since we were really just in it for the fun.

Afterward, I spent a few extra days visiting my brothers and their families that live there.  I got my first rays of sunshine and a touch of color that was desperately needed.  Pink cheeks and a splash of pink on one arm.  But at this point, my pasty skin will take what it can get.

I made two batches of chocolate pudding cookies like these while there, ate a dozen or so, then came home and wanted more.  Instead of using chocolate pudding I used Oreo Instant pudding to make these babies over the weekend. 

These are pretty dreamy. I took them to a friends and we ate them with cookies and cream ice cream.  Overload?  Not one bit!

I love how soft and moist pudding makes these.  I want to try every flavor of pudding in a cookie.  I don't think you can go wrong.
