If you’re like me, you’ll be baking up a storm for the holidays. With all the Christmas cookie exchange parties, office gift exchanges and class parties, there are plenty of reasons to try a new cookie recipe this time of year! You’ll definitely want to try these delicious chewy cookies that Santa is sure to love!

How do you like your cookies – crunchy or chewy? I prefer chewy, homemade cookies so when I heard people talking about “pudding cookies” I knew it was something I had to try. I have a banana cake recipe that uses banana pudding and it is absolutely delicious so I was sure I’d love pudding cookies as well. After a bit of Google searching and a peek into my pantry, I came up with these tasty Chocolate Pudding Cookies with chocolate-coated candies. They freeze really well – I know because I froze them so I wouldn’t eat too many but they taste delicious fresh out of the freezer too!
