This refreshing chopped salad was so tasty, my girls and I were fighting over the last serving. If you’ve never had jicama, it’s a slightly sweet, mild flavored, very moist and very crunchy root vegetable from Mexico. It’s also very high in fiber and Vitamin C. I can buy precooked barley in the freezer section of my grocery store. If you can’t find the precooked variety, I share simple cooking instructions below.

Recipe Description

Although this recipe makes 72 cookies, they barely hit the cooling rack in my house before my husband and kids gobble them away. These are the best I’ve ever made.

Preparation Instructions

The above ingredients are for 72 cookies (the serving size didn’t go that high). Halve the recipe to make 36 cookies. Also you can change the pudding flavor if you want.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the flour, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Beat in the instant pudding mix until blended. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Blend in the flour mixture. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips and nuts. Drop cookies by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Edges should be golden brown.

Ingredients

4 1/2 Cups All-purpose Flour
2 Teaspoons Baking Soda
1 Teaspoon Salt
2 Cups Butter, Softened
1 1/2 Cups Packed Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup White Sugar
2 (3.4 Ounce) Packages Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
4 Eggs
2 Tablespoons Vanilla Extract
4 Cups Semisweet Chocolate Chips
2 Cups Chopped Walnuts (optional)

Yummy! I just baked 1/2 a batch of these delicious cookies. I only had sugar free vanilla pudding so I used that. I also only used 1 tsp of vanilla extract since that was all I had left. I will certainly be keeping this recipe as my “go to” chocolate chip cookie.

Since I was first married, my husband has told me that I can’t make a good cookie. He tells me they don’t taste like his moms or my aunts.
This weekend a miracle happened, all because of two little boxes of instant pudding.
Not only did my aunt (who make awesome cookies) ask me for the recipe but my picky husband said they were the best chocolate chip cookies he’d ever eaten.
THANKS!!!!

just made these and they really are good. I used what i think is our equivalent of instant vanilla pudding mix…brilliant idea to add it, they are perfect and the kids loved getting involved too. thanks will definately be making them again as they make such a lovely amount too!

I’m going to make these but only have chocolate pudding. Should be good though, you can’t have too much chocolate, right?

Oatmeal Toffee Cookie Bars

by Carolina HeartStrings and filed in Cookies, Desserts

One of my favorite candy bars is the Heath chocolate covered toffee bar. Heath makes a toffee chip for baking. They are very small and mix well for a well distributed flavor. I took one of my old oatmeal cookie bar recipes and tweaked it to include these chips and also some chocolate chips. They are tasty and crispy and even more so after fully cooling overnight. That is, if they last overnight!
