Eric's Double Chocolate Oreo Cookies

I have the most amazing fiance. We have been together almost exactly a year now and I have never been so happy. I cannot wait to marry him. However, he seems to have a problem with his sneezes. He always sneezes into his hands. It is good that he is covering his mouth, but then his germs and spit are all over his hands. I keep telling him to sneeze into his elbow, but he doesn't. So finally I decided to use positive reinforcement to get him to sneeze into his elbow: I promised him one cookie for every time he sneezes into his elbow instead of his hand. So far he is up to 19. To reward him for his good progress I am baking him cookies. I found a recipe for oreo pudding cookies at http://www.the-girl-who-ate-everything.com/2011/05/oreo-pudding-cookies.html and tweeked it a little.

2 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/4 cup white sugar
1 package (about 4 oz) chocolate instant pudding     mix
2 eggs
1 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 king size Hersey's Cookies and Cream candy bar
2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
Cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until fluffy.
Blend in pudding mix.
Add eggs and vanilla.
Add flour mixture.
Break candy bar up into small pieces (I broke each small rectangular piece into thirds).
Fold in candy pieces and chocolate chips.
Dough will be very thick.
Place parchment paper on baking sheet.
Place dough balls onto parchment paper.
Bake for 10 minutes.

I tried to make sure I got at least one piece of candy in each cookie. These cookies are super ooy-gooy after you take them out of the oven, so it is a good idea to let themm cool a little on the parchment paper before you move them to a cooling rack. My spatula was covered in melted chocolate. Yum!

They are the most amazing cookies I have ever had (and I'm not just saying that because I made them)!
