Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies
So I must confess that I’ve been holding these cookies back from you for a month. I know, I know, how dare I. I actually made these for Matt for his birthday at the beginning of September, because though most everyone knows me for my cupcakes, he loves me for my cookies!
But there was another reason these particular cookies came about. When I was shopping for his Captain America Birthday Party, I spotted Nestle Toll House’s New DelightFulls chocolate chips!
Yes, they’re exactly what they sound like, chocolate chips with a filling! I mean I couldn’t leave the store without a bag of the peanut butter filled ones.
Well, as soon as I got home and start unpacking, Matt snapped those babies right up and asked when he could eat them. I told him they were for the blog.
He said, “Yeah, yeah, yeah, the blog comes first” – He keeps threatening to get that as a tattoo so when people ask him why he’s doing the ridiculous stuff he’s doing (or I’m doing) he can just point to his arm.
Well, he really wanted to eat those chocolate chips, so he gave me the puppy dog face and asked for Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies for his birthday and told me I could even take pictures of them for the blog – wasn’t that nice of him? But I really didn’t mind, I’d make him cookies anytime!
These are seriously the best peanut butter cookies I’ve ever made, they’re soft and chewy and of course, the chocolate makes them even better!

These were delicious!!! They have a wonderful flavor and texture…and I love how soft and “plump” they are. 🙂 They were a big hit! Thanks for the recipe.

I not getting a ‘dough” out of this. Only s powder??? Never had this happen? Checked and double checked ingredients three times???

Hi Cheryl, I’m sorry to hear that you’re having issues with this recipe, but you definitely shouldn’t have a powdery mixture, if you’ve added the eggs, butter, and peanut butter, those “wet” ingredients should help to bind the dough.
