Ingredients
Cookies
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 .9oz box instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cups Crushed oreos (about 13 cookies)
- 30 gummy worms
Chocolate Glaze
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- ⅔ cup cocoa powder
- ½ cup water
- 4 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a medium sized mixing bowl and cream together well.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugar and mix well.
- Mix in the pudding mix, baking soda, and salt. Mix this in at low speed until the ingredients are well combined and you have a nice chocolate batter.
- Slowly add the flour and mix until everything is well combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and mix until chips are evenly distributed throughout dough.
- Use a large cookie scoop to scoop out balls and place them 2" apart on prepared cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for 8 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
- Spoon the glaze onto each cookie, then top with crushed Oreos and a gummy worm. Let cool before serving.
Cup of Yum
Chocolate Glaze
- While cookies are cooling, make the glaze by combining the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and water in a bowl and mix until it reaches a good consistency.
Notes
- Make sure your Oreo crumbs are fine enough that you can just sprinkle them on the cookies for an Oreo cookie coating. You don’t want any big chunks or they won’t look like the dirt cookies you’re going for.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to five days before throwing in the trash (or eating them all!).
- Freeze the chocolate chip pudding cookies before they’re glazed and topped with dirt. Place them in a freezer safe airtight bag or container and freeze for up to three months. When you’re ready to eat, just remove from the freezer and allow to thaw to room temperature. Mix up some glaze and glaze + top them when you’re ready to eat!
