Chocolate Chunk Peppermint Pudding Cookies

 I know a second peppermint cookie this year.  I could not resist this batch.  There is something about chocolate and peppermint together for the holidays.  Hope you enjoy the second patch this year.

These are the perfect little bite of chocolate and peppermint. I think Santa would approve.

The peppermint crunch baking chips I found at Publix. 

Once again I forgot to take a picture of the 3/4 cup of softened butter in the mixing bowl.  Then add 3/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup sugar.  Mix well.

Add a small package of chocolate instant pudding mix.  If you can find Devil's food pudding use it if not chocolate will be fine. Pudding makes cookies so good.  Try adding a vanilla box to your regular chocolate chip cookies.

Now add 2 eggs.  Mix

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 1/4 cup all purpose flour.  Add a little at a time and mix after.  If you put it all in your mixer you will have flour everywhere.  Don't ask how I know.

Add 1 cup Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Chips

And 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips or chunks.

I made small bite size cookies and have them ready for the freezer.

Bake in a preheated 350 oven for 8-10 minutes. Another Santa approved cookie.
