Oreo Pudding Chocolate Chip Cookies – an easy and delicious from scratch cookie recipe. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. All you need is a glass of milk and you are set! Butter, eggs, brown sugar, sugar, oreo pudding mix, vanilla, flour, baking soda, salt, oatmeal, and chocolate chips. Can freeze the cookie dough for a quick treat later! This recipe makes a lot of cookies – great for parties, bake sales, potlucks, and your holiday cookie tray.
Whisk flour, baking soda and salt together in a bowl. Set aside.
Cream the butter and both sugars with an electric mixer, scraping down the sides of the bowl often. Add the vanilla and eggs; beat until eggs are mixed in.
Add the oreo pudding and flour mixture to the batter and stir until it is almost fully mixed in. Add oatmeal and continue stirring until flour disappears. Stir in chocolate chips.
Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop dough onto parchment-lined cookie sheets.
Bake for 9-11 minutes or until edges are lightly brown. Transfer the baked cookes to a cooling rack and cool completely.
Notes:
Do NOT make the pudding. You are only going to use the dry mix. I buy the Oreo pudding at Walmart.
I used semi-sweet chocolate chips in the cookies. Feel free to use milk chocolate, dark chocolate or white chocolate chips.
I use quick-cook oatmeal for the oatmeal in the cookies. I do not recommend instant oatmeal.
One cup of all-purpose flour weighs 4.25-ounces. To properly measure flour, give the flour a stir to loosen it up in the container. Use a spoon and lightly spoon the flour into your measuring cup. Use a flat straight edge (like the straight back of a knife) to level off the top of the flour in the measuring cup. Do NOT compact the flourin the measuring cup.
Can Chocolate Chip Cookies be frozen? Yes! You can freeze the cookie dough or the baked cookies.
To freeze the unbaked cookie dough, scoop the dough and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the cookie sheet in the freezer. Once the dough is frozen, transfer cookie dough balls to a freezer bag and store them in the freezer for 3 to 6 months.
When ready to bake cookies, simply add a few minutes to the cooking time.
To freeze baked cookies, allow the cookies to cool completely and place them in a freezer bag. Place the bag in the freezer. The cookies will keep about 3 months in the freezer.
