[pies & cakes & cookies ohmy!]

10 stars!! This is a recipe I've been searching for for years. A nice soft big (I use a 1/3c.scoop) cookies that keep their freshness and softness. My only other suggestion is that it turns out it's a hugely versatile cookie as well. I've used milk chocolate pudding and raspberry chips, chocolate fudge pudding and peanut butter chips, coconut pudding and macadamia nuts, and butterscotch pudding and toffee chips. No disappointments in the lot. Thanks for posting. I

These are great. I only had fat free sugar free pudding mix, not sure if that made a difference. These didn't spread much, so I flattened out a bit and cooked for 9 min. Bottoms got a golden brown and tops stayed light. The taste is fantastic, very smooth and not too sweet. I want to try other flavor mix and chips!

These turned out perfectly! Added 1/4 tsp of salt and 1 tsp cinnamon to the flour mixture and baked them at 350 for 8 minutes in a convection oven. So soft and delicious! Also tried them using butterscotch pudding and adding chopped walnuts- yummy too! Thanks for the recipe
