Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding mix (1 package)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet)
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, beat together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about three minutes. Mix in vanilla extract.
- Gradually stir in flour and baking powder until just combined; avoid overmixing.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each.
- Bake for about ten minutes until lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center. Let cool on the baking sheet for five minutes before transferring to wire racks.
- Prepare filling by whisking pudding mix with milk until thickened. Assemble by piping filling onto one cooled cookie and sandwiching it with another cookie.
- Melt chocolate chips in short bursts in the microwave; drizzle over assembled cookie bites.
- Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form and dollop over cookie bites before serving.
