Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 packet (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
- ½ cup green food coloring
- ½ cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time. Then stir in both the vanilla extract and peppermint extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and instant vanilla pudding mix. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Add the green food coloring to your dough. Mix until fully tinted, adjusting based on your desired shade of green.
- Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies and white chocolate chips (if using) until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in your preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until edges are set but centers remain soft. Avoid overbaking!
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
