Soft and chewy sugar cookies made with a box of vanilla pudding mix, making the cookie dough more soft and chewy. The cookies are made red and green with food coloring for Christmas, and with a chocolate Reese’s peanut butter cup stuffed inside of each cookie. Everyone will love these easy chewy cookies with a delicious chocolate and peanut butter surprise in each cookie.
The cookie dough is made similar to a classic sugar cookie dough, except for the addition of pudding mix whisked into the cookie dough. Divide the cookie dough between two bowls, and mix one with red food coloring and one with green. Take a small amount of each cookie dough and roll together into balls and flatten slightly. Place one peanut butter cup on each cookie dough and roll together into balls. Place onto a large ungreased baking sheet and bake until the cookies are fully cooked through.
