Hi Nancy, Ditto and All My Recipe Fiends in Nancy Land,

Sue was asking for a peanut butter cookie recipe that uses pudding mix in the batter. I am not sure if this is the one that you want, Sue, but it is a good cookie. You can also experiment with the cookie by using different flavors of pudding and/or chips. Pat

Chocolate Peanut Butter Pudding Cookies Recipe
These mix and bake up fast; and make 36 delicious cookies.

1 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
1 3/4 cups peanut butter chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and instant pudding mix; stir into the creamed mixture. Fold in the peanut butter chips. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Note: If you do not have peanut butter chips, you can use ? cup of chunky (or smooth) peanut butter instead. No need to make further adjustments.
Enjoy! Pat
