Cake Batter Pudding Cookies

i have writer's block. anyone else ever get this? all day, i brainstorm about all the witty things i want to say when i post and once i get to the computer and open up my blog dashboard i transform into this sort of brain dead being.  it's prettttyyy lammmmee.

so due to my complete lack of inspiration for content, here are some cookies. they are good. you will like them. they looked so munch worthy mainly because i love sprinkles and cake batter is probably one of my favorite ice cream flavors.

there's some vanilla pudding mixed in that really gave them that batter taste. mmhmmm. i wish some of these were still in my kitchen. but i made them for some kiddos who'd be attending a sorority alumnae event, and they luurvvvedd them. i also managed to shatter the container they were in somehow. maybe that Pyrex just couldn't handle the awesomeness of these cookies.
