Sometimes I’m skeptical of advertised “softbatch” cookies, because I’ve had hit or miss experiences with whether they actually turn out as advertised.  This recipe really was a good softbatch cookie recipe though!  They weren’t quite as puffy as I usually prefer, but they were soft, and definitely a good chewy.

The original recipe from Kim on The ChocolaTess uses pudding mix, and typically I’m a huge fan of using this secret ingredient in cookies.  Just see my pudding sprinkle cookies, and my cookies and creme cookies recipes from some ah-mazingly tasty examples.  However, since this recipe didn’t specify using a whole packet, I decided to substitute cake mix for the pudding mix so that I didn’t have any leftover pudding mix.  The original 1/4 c. might have been a whole packet, so if you try it out, please let me know!  But I typically have a cake mix open and dedicated to recipes, so it was a better decision for me, personally.  I don’t like letting things go to waste!

I will note that Kenichi, our shiba inu, was a little wily puppers, and managed to get his paws up on the counter and lick one of my cookies.  Luckily he didn’t eat it, considering it has chocolate in it, but he was definitely scoping out the kitchen as I made these.  But just look at that face!  It’s so hard to be mad at him…

We actually took him to a small dog park, kinda last minute, kinda randomly today.  Cabin John Dog Park apparently has a good local showing, and is a really cute park, with a lot of shade and interesting things to do!  It’s up in Silver Spring, so we’ll probably be limited more to weekends than weekdays, but we definitely plan on taking Kenichi there again.  He had an awesome time, although of course he had to confront the other shiba there and prove his shibatude, but he had a great time tearing around with some of the other dogs!
