Chocolate Earthquake Cookies image

These fudgy, rich, and oh so yummy cookies have a powdered sugar coating that cracks upon baking. That's why they're named earthquakes! Prep time includes refrigerating time. They freeze very well. Enjoy! :o)

These cookies are delicious! They're so easy to make and they taste like they came from a bakery. I'll definitely be making them again.

I wasn't impressed with these cookies. I found them to be too sweet and the texture was a bit off. I wouldn't make them again.

These cookies are so good! I've tried many different chocolate chip cookie recipes, but this one is by far the best. They're chewy, fudgy, and have the perfect amount of chocolate chips.

These cookies were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and they didn't have much flavor. I wouldn't recommend them.

I love the combination of chocolate chips and pudding mix in these cookies. They're so chewy and fudgy, and they have the perfect amount of sweetness.

The cookies were good, but not great. I found them to be a bit too dry and crumbly. I think I would have liked them better if I had added more butter or oil to the batter.

These cookies were a hit with my family! They're so rich and fudgy, with the perfect amount of chocolate chips. I loved the addition of pudding mix, it gave the cookies a really moist and tender texture. Will definitely be making these again.
