Ingredients

Cookies

  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Pudding

  • 1 3.4 oz. box instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 1/4 cup milk
  • 4 oz. whipped cream 1/2 container Cool Whip

Ganache

  • 8 oz. semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3 Tablespoons butter
  • 4 teaspoons honey or corn syrup
  • 4 teaspoons milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cream butter, shortening, and sugar with an electric hand mixer or stand mixer. Beat in eggs.
  • In a separate bowl whisk flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt together.
  • Combine dry ingredients with butter mixture. It will be a soft dough.
  • Scoop cookies, using a medium cookie scoop, on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. I usually bake 6 cookies per sheet.
  • Bake cookies in the oven for 12 minutes.
  • Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 3-5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Pudding

  • Combine vanilla pudding mix and powdered sugar in a medium bowl. Add milk and beat with an electric hand mixer or whisk for 2 minutes, or until mixture begins to thicken, slightly. Fold in cool whip. Chill vanilla pudding mixture for 10-15 minutes.

Ganache

  • While the pudding chills let's make the chocolate ganache.
  • Microwave glaze ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds. Stir. Microwave an additional 15-20 seconds. Stir until melted and smooth.
  • Spoon pudding mixture over cooled cookies. Spread.
    Spoon a small amount of the chocolate ganache on top of each cookie. Spread slightly.
  • Chill cookies until ready to serve.

Notes

  1. The pudding mixture must be made with instant pudding mix, not cook and serve pudding mix.
  2. Chocolate ganache can be made in the microwave, a double boiler, or over the stove in a small saucepan on medium heat.
  3. Finished cookies must be chilled.
