Ok, we have a problem. I have found the best cookies in the entire world.

Why is this a problem? Because I CAN’T. STOP. EATING THEM.

I was totally in control for 6 batches of cookies. I gave tons away, and enjoyed the rest in moderation.

But these babies? No way.

I have been plowing through these cookies at a very alarming rate.

And I really, really, really already want to make more. OMG.

The idea for these cookies came from two really fun holiday products I found.

Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Chips (amazingness) and JELLO Candy Cane Pudding (note: the Candy Cane pudding seems to have been discontinued, so now I use vanilla pudding and they are just as good!).

After making Gingerbread Pudding Cookies (and loving them), I thought I’d try the Candy Cane pudding in some cookies too. At first I was thinking cocoa powder, to get that well-loved mint-chocolate combo. But then I thought it might overpower the pudding, so I decided to leave it out.

So glad I did. These cookies were amazing. All 43 of the ones I’ve tried.

In other exciting blog news, Santa came early this year and brought me something fun!

A tabletop lightbox setup! So, I really have no idea how to use it yet… but I’m excited to learn! Since I work all day and usually only cook when it’s dark out, I’m always very much lacking natural light.

My fancy dancy camera hates me because I blasphemously use it’s dreaded flash. Well now I don’t have to! But that also means I really need to learn how to use said camera as well… Looks like I’ve got lots of work to do. 🙂

    Ok, these look amazing and I’m so tempted to make this recipe.
    I made on similar but it was with crushed pepermints, and not the jello. This sounds even better!

    But that lightbox? That! I definitely need that in my life! I always cook and bake at night too, which of course is not the opportune time for photos of food. And my camera hates me too, ever since I dropped it in cornbread mix, but that’s a story for another time. So I always use flash too! Where did you get it, or did you make it?

    I need one in my life! 😀

      You can get them on amazon for fairly inexpensive… http://www.amazon.com/CowboyStudio-Table-Photo-Studio-Light/dp/B001MYASTG/ref=pd_bxgy_p_text_y

      Maybe Santa can bring you one too!

    The cookies look good, but I’m especially drooling over the ho cho! We’ve been hot chocolating it up over here lately. The cold weather demands it. Mental note: get marshmallows for hot chocolate!*
