"The cookies are are super soft with slight chewiness around the edges. They're supremely chocolaty with four types of chocolate used. Cocoa, chocolate pudding, chocolate chunks, and Andes chips. They're thicker, bakery-style cookies that are bold and rich, not overly sweet, and are loaded with melted chocolate and mint chips. Pudding mix keeps the cookies super soft and there are any substitutions. You could omit it, but the cookies won't taste the same. Make sure to chill the dough so the cookies bake up thick and full. The cookies are larger than some and the batch makes 14 cookies. The baking time of 10 minutes works perfectly with this size cookie, and if you alter the size of the cookie, you will need to alter the baking time. They're so moist and soft, and there's a nice amount of mint flavor without overpowering the big, bold, chocolate fudge factor. Perfect for the holidays or St. Patrick's Day...."
