Ingredients
  

  • 16 T. butter soft
  • ¾ c. white sugar
  • ¾ c. dark brown sugar packed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 2 ¼ c. all-purpose flour
  • 3.4 ounce box instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 2 c chopped chocolate (Milk chocolate or Semi-sweet) (I used Ghirardelli and Hersheys)
  • 3-4 Twinkies You can cut in half for larger cookies or thirds for slightly smaller ones

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Beat butter and sugars.
  • Add eggs and vanilla.
  • Add flour, pudding mix, salt and baking soda.
  • If cutting Twinkies in half for the JUMBO cookie, use 1/2 c. dough-flatten in your hand, place Twinkie in middle and wrap dough around the Twinkie. Roll into a ball and flatten a bit. For a slightly smaller cookie, use a third of a Twinkie and less dough.
  • Bake 12-14 mins.
  • Let set on pan and then remove to a rack.
