I remember the first time I tasted cookies with pudding in them. It was when I was a girl scout and my troop leader brought some in for a meeting. They were so moist and perfectly puffy! Thank you for reminding me how wonderful this “secret ingredient” is!

Pat Matera says
We have been making these cookies since Dec. 2012 when the photographer who took pix of my newborn grandson offered them as refreshments in her home where she was photographing him. We asked for the recipe and she gave it to us….we call them “Chocolate Chip Crack Cookies”. You just can’t stop eating the darn things!
danielle says
awesome!!
Jessica says
When you measure your flour, do you scoop it with a spoon or dip your measuring cup in your flour? I always scoop it when measuring flour. Some of my sites dip. I’m not using enough flour if they dip their cup
danielle says
I am a dipper bc I am lazy. hahahha
Jessica says
Thank you very much!! I make a lot of your bake goods. Your bakers sprinkle cookies are a big hit with my siblings
danielle says
AWESOME!!!
Diane says
This looks good need to try this. Thanks
Christina says
Hi there! I am quite sure that most of you will find my comment weird or just funny, so in an effort to entertain you ladies, here I go : I was wondering about the pudding mix. Do you add the ‘dust’ in the butter – sugar mix, or you prepare the pudding with milk and THEN add it in? I do think that you prepair it, but have to make sure! Please try to keep a straight face and let me know…. I am Greek, not really familiar with US recipies, but I really love trying new stuff!!!
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
add just the dust as u call it! hee hee!!! 🙂
Cindy says
Don’t feel bad. I was wondering the same thing. And I’ve been baking for years, but some recipes are different. Thank you for asking.
skbennett says
Can you put the whole recipe together, bake half and freeze the other half ?
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
sure!!!!!
janrt says
When you freeze the dough do you do it in balls or just all together?
Janet
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
Better to do in ball shapes
Annie says
This was so disappointing. Added packaged, processed pudding “dust” defeats the purpose of making a homemade cookie. Yuck.
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
So sorry you were disappointed. That’s the first time I have heard that on this recipe.
John says
No it doesn’t Annie. It’s just different. There is still a place for good old toll house cookies. Try something different.
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
Totally agree! Thanks!
K says
Do you have a modification for high altitude cooking?
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
I don’t, sorry. Maybe someone else can help with that?
Sandra D says
Could I use sugar free pudding instead?
Vicki says
I made these years ago & used pistachio pudding mix. They come out a lovely light green. Dust the tops with powdered sugar.
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
yum!
Ela says
May I know if you used salted or unsalted butter. I noticed there’s no salt in the ingredients. Thanks.
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
I always use salted. 🙂
judi says
i made these several times but only had semi sweet chips ill have to try it with milk chco chips but they were very good.i halved the recipe and i still got a lot. everyone loved them.
Kim says
I have put pudding in my cookie batter for years now. I also Have an old white cake recipe of my grandmothers that I have added pudding to, as it was not a moist cake, but had a great flavor to it.
Debbie says
Make these all the time using pistachio pudding. Family favorite????
Sue Weese says
I used chocolate pudding and girls were fighting over the test cookie.
Great recipe.
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
Great idea! I’ll have to try it w chocolate!
debbie says

Hugs & Cookies xoxo says

Cathie says

debra okland says
Can you add pudding to an already favorite recipe and if so what adjustments would need to be made?
