White Chocolate Snickerdoodle Cookies

      
             I truly do not understand how these women with extravagant and elaborately detailed blog websites do it. Where do you all find the time and energy? Whenever I come across an eye-catching site, I usually scan the personal profile to see what exactly this person does. Nine times out of ten it's a mother with like 5 kids, a husband, a house, 3 dogs, elderly parents, somewhat of a job, and a bad haircut. I'm convinced that the only reason these women have this kind of free time is because they're no longer having sex with their husbands. No offense, but how else do you do it? I'm over here struggling to post once a week and I don't have any of the things aforementioned (except a crappy job, I do have one of those). Since my summer term of grad courses began this week, I took a mental break one day and resorted to clicking through my Pinterest boards until I found a simple yet delicious recipe. The good news is that I found one! Bad news is that I still haven't finished reading my Pharmacology assignments...
             Like I said, this recipe is both easy and delicious. If you haven't noticed by now, I tend to gravitate towards the recipes that require zero skill (minus the "satan" samoas) because I don't necessarily like to set myself up for failure. Anyways, you need to make these cookies. I had all of the ingredients on hand, and I was able to prepare, bake, and eat these guys while still watching  the Grey's Anatomy season finale. Again, zero skill required. The only advice I do have for these cookies is to not eat five of them before going out for a run. I had to stop halfway and puke on the street corner. I felt like a freshman girl at a frat party. With that being said, here's the recipe:

"White Chocolate Snickerdoodle Pudding Cookies"

Ingredients: 

• 1 c. unsalted softened butter
• 3/4 c. light brown sugar
• 1/4 c. granulated sugar
• 1 (3.4 oz) package white chocolate instant pudding mix (I used vanilla because I was too lazy to run out and buy a different kind)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract 
• 2 1/4 c. flour 
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 cups white chocolate chips
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/3 c. cinnamon sugar for rolling

Directions: 

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a cookie sheet or line with parchment paper.
2. Cream together butter and sugars using a hand mixer
3. Then add in the eggs. Mix in pudding, vanilla, flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and chips. Ingredients should be well mixed together. 
4. Scoop out dough and form into balls. Roll each ball in cinnamon sugar till coated. Place cookies 2 in. apart on baking sheet. 
5. Bake for approximately 10 minutes. 
6. Let cool. Store in airtight container. 
7. Admire your handiwork/shoo off family members from eating them

         And just like Ray Ramano, they may not be pretty to look at but boy does everybody love em'. These cookies were probably the softest I have ever made. Usually my cookies are hard like frisbees or a bag of sand, but these ones just melt in your mouth. Thank you so much Something Swanky for sharing this recipe! Now back to my studying so that I can graduate, find a job, and move out of my parent's house before I wake up one day and I'm 30 and the only thing I'm sleeping next to is my dog and an old pizza box. Enjoy!
