Cookies and Cream Pudding Cookies

I don't know why I make stuff like this. I can't be trusted to keep them in the house without eating a few a day, and that really does nothing for my weight loss goals, but push them rather away. I made these since we were having people come over before we went to the beer festival. Of course, only 2 of them were eaten, leaving over 2 dozen for me to stare at and have a battle in my head over good and evil. It didn't help either that when we got home, a bit tipsy, that cookies sounded amazing and I practically turned into the Cookie Monster. Needless to say, I brought them to work as fast as I could Monday morning where they were gone in 3 minutes. I even brought in the rest of the Oreos that were left after making these...like I said, I can't be trusted with sweets.

Not only were these easy to put together, the final outcome was amazing! It was the perfect mix between chocolate and cream, and the centers were still a bit chewy. I made these larger then they were suppose to be because I thought they looked better, also like those huge cookies you get at Disney World. There is nothing that I would change about this recipe and would definitely make them again...but only if I was immediately taking them somewhere else. In all, it made just over 2 dozen cookies, but could make more if you cut down on the size of each cookie. I like to bake mine a single sheet at a time to ensure even cooking. I don't even want to guess what the WW PP+ is for these bad boys, so I'm not going to look it up, LOL. Enjoy!
