Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Cookie Cups: Press the refrigerated sugar cookie dough into the cups of a mini muffin tin, ensuring the dough covers the bottom and sides of each cup.
- Bake: Bake the cookie dough in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cookie cups are golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
- Prepare the Pudding Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until the pudding thickens, about 2 minutes. Then, fold in the whipped cream until smooth and fluffy.
- Assemble the Cookie Bites: Once the cookie cups have cooled, spoon the creamy pudding mixture into each cup.
- Top with Toppings: Sprinkle the tops of the pudding-filled cookie cups with crushed graham crackers and mini chocolate chips for a sweet crunch.
- Refrigerate: Chill the cookie bites in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the pudding to set and the flavors to meld.

Tips and Variations
- Graham Cracker Crust: For extra flavor, you can make the crust a bit thicker by adding more crushed graham crackers or mixing in a little melted butter to make it more like a traditional pie crust.
- Flavor Variations: Try using a chocolate pudding mix instead of vanilla for a chocolate twist, or top the bites with fresh fruit like berries for a fresher, lighter option.
- Mini Muffin Tin Alternatives: If you don’t have a mini muffin tin, you can use a regular muffin tin, but the cookie cups will be larger.
Storage
- Storage: Keep the cream pie cookie bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
- Freezing: These can be frozen before adding the whipped cream topping. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
