PUDDING PEANUT BUTTER PATTIES COOKIES

Yield: 3 dozen cookies

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 12-14 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 cups flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 package (3.4-ounce) instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2 cups Peanut Butter Patties Girl Scout Cookies, broken into pieces

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or a Silpat liner.
• In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt together. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a mixer, cream the butter, peanut butter and the sugars together. Add eggs, pudding mix and vanilla and mix until well-combined. Slowly add the dry ingredients and mix until fully incorporated.
• Stir in the cookie pieces by hand. Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets. Using the bottom of a glass cup, lightly flatten each cookie. They can be fairly close together; they will not spread during baking.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes. The cookies will be lightly set on the outside while still soft in the middle. Cool on the baking sheet for 2-4 minutes and finish cooling on a wire rack.

Chef's Notes:

• You can use any mix-in or other kind of Girl Scout cookie you have on hand.
• If you prefer to leave out the peanut butter, this recipe can be easily adapted by replacing the 1/2 cup peanut butter with butter (use 1 cup butter total.)
