Soft and chewy sugar cookies made with a box of vanilla pudding mix, and made purple and orange, giving them a fun Halloween themed twist. Everyone will love the soft and chewy texture of the cookies and the 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 vanilla pudding mix. Divide the cookie dough into two bowls, and mix one with orange food coloring and one with purple. Take a small amount of each cookie dough and roll together into balls. Flatten each one slightly and place one peanut butter cup on each cookie dough. Roll together into balls and place onto a large baking sheet. Bake until the cookies are fully cooked through.
