While all the other schools in Toronto are going on March break today, I am returning to school from our March break and starting a new semester.
I can’t really say I’m jealous because I just had an entire week off as well, but during long breaks I feel so unproductive. Maybe it’s the fact that I sleep in way past my usual 6 AM start, or the fact that I have spent entire days in my pajamas that week. Whatever it is, I am ready for the new semester to begin.
And with each new beginning comes a new batch of cookies I will try to bribe my new students with to like me. Or, you know. Welcome them back to school. Whichever sounds less manipulative.
And who can say no to a chocolate cookie with white chocolate bursting from the inside? I certainly can’t. Which is why the drive to school may be a little difficult for me. There might not be any left for the students.
Let’s talk about why these cookies are great. One: they can use any extra instant pudding mix you might have in your cupboard (me always). Two: they are stupid easy to make. And three: they are delicious! Crisp outer shell with a chewy centre, and packed with white chocolate chips inside. It is every chocolate lover’s dream!
I think I will need to make a second batch entirely for me to eat. I just can’t get enough!

Pudding mix in cookies is something new to me. Sounds interesting and looks so delicious 🙂
Glad you had a nice break! And thanks for making us these cookies so we could all benefit from your break, too. 🙂
New beginnings sure do need new batches of cookies! These look and sound delightful – do you deliver? 🙂
What a treat for the kids! These look fantastic and just the sound of pudding and chocolate in a cookie is wonderful! I'm sure these cookies – and you – will be a big hit!
You must be the most popular teacher in school 🙂 Love these cookies!
Haha cookie bribing is always a good idea! And I bet it's super easy with these 🙂

These cookies look delicious. Pudding in cookies is always nice!
I wish i had you as my teacher! I was never greeted back from school with cookies, especially ones as chocolaty and delicious as these.
I love using pudding mix in my cookies, too! It's my secret little ingredient that takes cookies to a whole new level. Chocolate anything is good in my book, and I will gladly take a couple of these chocolate cookies to start the day. Good luck getting back into the swing of things today! (I bet eating a cookie will help…just sayin')
