Oreo Pudding Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have to say, the greatest thing about nursing a 4 month old, buddah fat baby is that I can eat all the time, whenever, whatever I want.....and not gain weight.
Well, almost whenever/whatever. Let's not get crazy here with 2 am fridge raidings.

And the last 2 mornings, I will admit, I had cake for breakfast. And not just any cake. This was a double layer chocolate banana cake, with a chocolate drizzle soaked  in between the layers, and white chocolate buttercream frosting smeared ALL OVER. 

Then I made these cookies, and ate a lot of dough. Because there is no point to making cookies if you're not going to eat a lot of dough.

Don't worry though, I'm not a complete fatty. I did go running.

Then that night was pizza night at my mom's....a weekly tradition where my mom makes a bazillion of the best pizzas in the universe and we pig out.

So I brought dessert: these Oreo Pudding cookies, and I also made some gluten free/dairy free chocolate cookies. And I ate another cookie more cookies. 

And an hour later after we got home, I was STARVING.

God Bless nursing babies. I'm living it up.

But enough about my unhealthy eating habits, lets talk about these cookies.

I love chocolate chip cookies. They are my all-time fav cookie. Until now, that is. These babies are soooo ooey-gooey and chock full of deliciousness it's not even funny.

I ate so much of this batter. I love batter.

And if you are what you eat, I should be turning into cookie dough any time now.
