Cookies 'n Cream Pudding Mix Cookies


A couple weeks back, while pursuing Pinterest, I came across Cookies 'n Cream Cookies.  Knowing full well that all things Oreo turn out great, I was sure this too would follow suit, which given the time of year is of the utmost importance, the 'Man in Red' himself is scheduled to visit.
It goes without saying, a good impression is required.  An impression worthy of say, a huge present (or a little present. wink, wink)



Not to brag or anything, but my track record with Oreos and baking is 2 for 2, and now after todays success story I'm happy to report we are 3 for 3.  It's all in the Oreo...

Sharing the ranks with these cookies are my Oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookies and my cookies 'n cream popcorn, both of which are completely low fat and perfectly healthy (or not, but Santa isn't worried about things like that, it's his job to be jolly.) 


The base for this recipe comes from my white chocolate coconut cookies that I made awhile back.  A few substitutions later and voila, a new cookie is born.  Today is good day!

1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
