I have a recipe that is identical except it uses 2 packages of Dream Whip instead of the pudding. Good to know I can replace the DW with pudding. Good cookies once they cool; can be greasy until then. My other recipe says cool on paper towels on cookie sheets to absorb the ghrease - maybe not as important with the pudding. I'll try this recipe, Jude, and let you know the difference.

These are absolutely wonderful cookies. Who would have ever thought mayonnaise would go in a cookie recipe. Wonderful. Thanks for this keeper.
