Chocolate Pudding Cookies

More cookies!!

Yeah, my freezer is packed full. 

Don't believe me?


Now, do you?  Yes, I know.  I could eat the ice cream and that would give me more room but I eat it like once a week.  (Too cold to eat ice cream!)  And with Aaron gone most of our dinners end up in the freezer too!  It's too much for Riley and I to eat.  I probably should stop baking...

Anyway, back to my cookies.

I saw these on the web and had to try them out.  They looked so simple; I had the ingredients on hand and I had been craving chocolate.  How perfect is that?!  I also had some leftover Reese's Pieces from Halloween and wanted to use those in these cookies.

If you're not afraid of butter, or chocolate - try them some time.  They are a very soft cookie, too!
