. . . Cookie Time Tuesday-Two for One . . .

Today is a TWO FOR ONE deal on Cookie Time Tuesday.  I loved the first batch of Cake Batter Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies so much that I had to give it a try with a second batch adding little bit of a twist.  The second batch turned out so good!  The general consensus in our house was that the Chocolate Espresso Cookie was a little better than the plain Chocolate Chip although both are WONDERFUL!

I'm a big fan of puffy cookies that hold their shape and don't sink after they bake and these cookies passed all "Lindy" tests.  They are puffy and dense but moist and chewy at the same time.  I would say this recipe is a major keeper!  I also love that you can put all kinds of twists on it depending on the flavor of pudding or cake mix that you decide you want to use.  

I hope you enjoy these two recipes and if you make something different come back and let me know the combo you made.  I can't wait to hear.
