Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 4.2 oz pkg Oreo Cookies & Cream pudding mix
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp peppermint extract
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup crushed candy canes
- 15 Oreo cookies coarsely crushed (you want big chunks!) - I used the holiday variety in this batch which contributed a lovely red color to the cookies, but you could also use the Peppermint Oreos, or even just regular ones!
Instructions
- Using a hand mixer, cream the butter and sugars. Add the pudding mix and mix until well blended.
- Add the eggs, vanilla and peppermint extract and mix well.
- Add the flour and baking soda and continue mixing.
- Stir in the crushed candy canes and Oreo cookie chunks.
- Drop cookies by rounded teaspoonfuls (I use a cookie scoop) onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 350°.
