Banana Pudding

This is Paula Deens recipe for banana pudding. I will never make my other vanilla wafer kind again. I have made this many times and everyone loves it. I don't really even like bananas but I love this. I had to list the cookies as butter cookies under the ingredients but the recipe calls for 2 bags of Pepperidge Farms Chessman cookies and that is what I use. I think you could use any kind of cookie that you think would go well and keep its shape under the pudding.
