Amandita Designs: Chocolate Pudding Chocolate Chip Cookies

My husband has been working really hard for me around the house to get projects done. I wanted to do something for him as a 'thank you' for everything he's been doing. I found this pudding cookies recipe and I knew he would love it!

The blog I found it from is Two Peas & Their Pod. In their recipe they actually use vanilla pudding, but my husband (& I) =) like chocolate...& basically I only had chocolate pudding mix in the house & not vanilla so I figured it was worth a try. =)
