Cookies:
- 1 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 3 1/2 cup Oreos, approx. 30
- 3 cups flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Pudding Mixture:
- 2 cups milk
- 3.4 oz package instant vanilla pudding
- 8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 8 oz. cool whip, thawed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º.
- Cream together butter and sugars until light and creamy. Approximately 1-2 minutes on medium high speed.
- Add eggs and vanilla to the mixture. Mix on medium speed until just combines. Approximately 15-30 seconds.
- Crush the Oreos until they are mostly crumbs. I use a blender for this. You could also put the Oreos in a gallon zip lock bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- In a separate bowl from the wet ingredients, combine 3 cups of crushed Oreos (save the remainder for later), flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix together.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients 1 cup at a time. Mix until fully combined on a medium speed.
- Roll 1/4 cup of dough into a ball, place on a baking sheet and gently push down until the dough is about 1 inch thick. I typically put 6 cookies on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes. (12 minutes is perfect for me) Remove and allow to cool on pan for 10 minutes before moving to a wire rack or parchment paper to finish cooling.
- While cookies are cooling, whisk together pudding mix and milk.
- In a separate bowl cream together cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add to pudding mixture and mix until well combined.
- Fold cool whip into the cream cheese pudding mixture. Place in the refrigerator until all cookies are baked and cooled.
- Spoon or pipe the pudding mixture onto the cookies.
- Sprinkle with remaining Oreo crumbs.
- NOW EAT THAT DANG COOKIE GIRL!
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is room temperature. Otherwise the pudding mixture will be lumpy.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- These Oreo pudding cookies are best served cold. Leave in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve. Remove from the refrigerator approximately 10 minutes before eating.
- You can add a gummy worm to the top of the pudding mixture to make it an extra fun treat for your kiddos.
