Everything But The... Cookies

This cookie has been in the works for a couple of weeks.  I had the idea of a kitchen sink type cookie, but then it took some bombs to not so fabulous cookies before the perfect combination came to be.

This is now the perfect combination that includes a little bit of everything.  

Just a glance at the recipe will surprise you; these cookies have just about Everything but the Kitchen Sink in them.

The combination of potato chips, pudding, graham cracker crumbs, and oats provides delicious flavor, fabulous texture, and all around sugary goodness in a cookie you won't be able to put down.    

This perfect combination of everything cookie is addicting.  If you are anything like me, where you strive to have self control but don't really, you'll start by eating just one cookie after lunch and come to realize your've ate 8 cookies.  A little ooops, but they are oh so delicious I coudn't didn't want stop.  

With how addicting these cookies are it's a good thing this recipe makes a plethora.  You can eat your 8 for lunch dessert and then still have plenty to bring them to friends, soccer games, or freeze the cookies or dough for cooking at a later use.
