    Amish Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Pudding Bars (or cookies)

    This is a curious recipe.  Don't get me wrong, it's delicious. Too delicious.  I have a whole pan of these bars that will, I'm sure, be all-too-soon polished off in this house.  The recipe for "Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies" comes to me from the Amish settlement near Chouteau, Oklahoma.    I thought I'd make the cookies into bars which, I think, turned out to be a good call. I did make some cookies out of the dough, but not wanting to spend all evening dropping dough onto cookie sheets, we pressed the dough into an 9 X 13 baking dish and called it a day.  For some reason I think they taste better as a bar.  So while you can make cookies out of them, I recommend the bars.  But the curious part of the recipe:  why the pudding?  It's not like you could taste it in any way.  It is a nice moist, dense bar that would be perfect for the lunch pail, breakfast, dessert, aftern0on snack so maybe the pudding just contributes in some way to this nice texture.  Shrug. Anyone have any thoughts?

    Amish Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Pudding Bars

    Amish Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Pudding Bars are a delicious, dense, easy dessert!

    I ran out of butter...I had 1 ½ cups, so I used 1 /2 cup of sour cream for the rest and do damage done.  This thing is also loaded with chocolate chips, but you'll hear no complaints from me on that count.  All in all a really, really good bar.  I'd give this a B+ as a dessert. Super easy, super tasty!

      I think you called it. The pudding will make the cookies/bars moister. One could even use the sugar-free vanilla pudding mix if they're having to watch calories and/or sugar intake.

      You know, I might show this recipe to my daughter. She wants me to make a giant cookie for her 18th birthday party this month. I can imagine they would be a big hit with her friends.

      I can see this recipe as a basic that one could modify-lemon pudding with coconut instead of choco chips, butterscotch pudding with butterscotch chips and pecans. wow . have to remind myself that we are cutting calories AGAIN>
