This is my favorite cookie! Thank you for posting, I have had the recipe card for many years, and my little one chewed it up so I thought I had lost the recipe. Thanks!

MMMMMMMMmmmmm. Yummy! Soft, chewy and scrumptious. Made as posted, using a full box of vanilla instant pudding mix (as that's what it's supposed to be - I asked CoffeeB). These are great easy to make and different! Thanks for posting! Made for the I Recommend Tag Game.

Sept. 6th, 2008:These are awesome! I used dark brown sugar just because I have a lot of it I accidently bought. I used Heath English Toffee Bits. Like Laffer suggested, I used parchment paper and I didn't even need a spatula to get them off! I could pick them up right off the parchment paper with my hands. I made them bigger than the recipe says to also...I like my cookies big. :) Thanks for posting a winner! I can't wait to give this recipe to my sister and mom. Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders Tag. Oct. 25th, 2008: UPDATE: I made a couple batches of these and gave some away. I gave some to a friend of my hubby's and she called me and asked for the recipe a few days later. She's made them numerous times since then and she says EVERYONE asks her for the recipe. These are amazing cookies that it seems like everyone loves. These are definetly keepers.
