Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 1/3 cups brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 3 cups flour
• 6 Tbsp dry instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 1/2 cups chocolate chips (I like to use half milk, half semi-sweet)
• 2 cups roughly chopped good quality chocolate
• 2 tsp coconut oil (or canola oil)
• Green sprinkles

Preparation

Step 1

Cream the butter and sugars till fluffy. Beat in the eggs, vanilla, and lemon juice. Combine the flour, pudding mix, soda, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Add to the wet ingredients with the 2 1/2 cups of chips. Stir till just combined. Roll into balls about 1 1/4″ across. Place on lightly greased or silpat lined cookie sheets. Bake at 350° for about 10 minutes. Let sit on pan for a couple of minutes, then remove to cooling racks. Cool completely. To dip cookies, combine the 2 cups of chocolate and the coconut oil in a glass bowl. Microwave at 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds till melted. Dip cookies halfway into chocolate, then place on waxed paper. Quickly add sprinkles. Let cookies sit till chocolate is hardened.
-Makes about 4 dozen cookies
