Neapolitan Jell-O Pudding Kiss Cookies

We’re still in the month of October celebrating Breast Cancer Awareness, so if you look closely this treat was created to bring awareness to the Ta-Tas!  It was brought to my attention that my Pumpkin Spice Kiss Cookies looked like ta-tas, so when I was asked to bring cookies to a Pink Party, I knew I had to incorporate that into my treat!  These Vanilla, Chocolate, and Strawberry Pudding Cookies do the cause justice, while also tasting chewy and delicious!
