These were GREAT! I did however, alter the recipe a tiny bit to make it a reduced-fat recipe and vegan. I subbed a 1/3 c. of the margarine for unsweetened applesauce, replaced both eggs w/ an equivalent amount of egg replacer, and added in crushed peppermints instead of the nuts. The mix made roughly a couple dozen cookies that disappeared almost immediately after being removed from the oven!

Yield: 48 medium sized cookies. I'm on the fence with these cookies! I gave this 4 stars because this recipe delivered everything it said it would in that the cookies were very moist. I followed the recipe exactly (I used an entire 12 oz pkg of white choc chips, chocolate fudge pudding mix, and I put chopped walnuts in). I also did as suggested and made this into balls and gently pushed on them before cooking the recommended 8 minutes. They came out of the oven smelling and looking great! They are moist on the inside with and nice texture to them. My only issue with these cookies is that I felt they were lacking in taste. I'm not sure if this is from the chocolate pudding or what. Don't get me wrong... these taste good, I guess from the looks and smell of them I just expected more flavor. I am going to make these again using regular choc chips and the vanilla pudding.

I had one of the those larger pudding packets (153g). I had to overcompensate for the more dry ingredients, so I skipped the extra 1/4 cup of flour. I also only had 1 egg, but there was plenty of liquid for everything to mix and, while a little salty, these pudding cookies are the best I've ever made!
