Easy chocolate drop cookies with the spectacular additions of chocolate pudding mix, peanut butter, oats and chopped peanut butter cups. Ingredients:
5 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate, chopped |
1 cup butter, softened |
1 1/2 cups white sugar |
4 eggs |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1/2 cup peanut butter |
4 cups all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix |
2 cups rolled oats |
2 cups chopped peanut butter cups |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. In the microwave or in a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, melt the semisweet chocolate, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Mix in the melted chocolate and peanut butter. Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and instant pudding mix; gradually blend into the peanut butter mixture. Stir in the oats and chopped peanut butter cups. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets.
3. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
