Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup softened butter
Vanilla Pudding Filling
- 1 (3.25 oz) package instant vanilla pudding
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup milk
Chocolate Glaze
- 2 tablespoons semi-sweet baking chips
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Prepare Cookie Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, and softened butter. Mix thoroughly until a soft dough forms.
- Bake Cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing evenly. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Let cookies cool completely.
- Make Vanilla Pudding Filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding, heavy whipping cream, and milk until smooth and thickened. Chill for at least 10 minutes to set.
- Assemble Cookie Bites: Once the cookies are cooled, spread a generous layer of vanilla pudding filling on the bottom side of one cookie and sandwich with another cookie to create a bite.
- Prepare Chocolate Glaze: Melt semi-sweet baking chips and heavy whipping cream together in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Glaze Cookie Bites: Dip or drizzle the top of each cookie bite with the chocolate glaze. Place on a tray and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to let the glaze set.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature butter when making the cookie dough.
- You can substitute the vanilla pudding with homemade custard if preferred.
- Store cookie bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Allow chocolate glaze to set fully before serving to avoid messiness.
