chocolate pudding cookies

As soon as Walmart started carrying the Andes peppermint crunch pieces, I have been baking with them. I’m kind of addicted to those pink chips!!! I am also severely addicted to pudding cookies…but you know that already:-) This past spring I made Peanut Butter Pudding cookies, and they became my all time favorite cookie. Until now…

I have had a jar of the Jif Mocha spread in my cupboard just waiting to be used. Have you tried that mocha spread yet? It is my new love!!! (It’s possible that I may eat it by the spoonfuls.) I just subbed the mocha spread for the peanut butter and added those yummy peppermint pieces for a fun Christmas cookie. As soon as I ate one fresh from the oven, I was in cookie heaven.
