Oatmeal Pudding Cookies

"These cookies are *fabulous*. They bake out crispy around the edges and soft in the middle--they are just the perfect texture! Have fun with this recipe and try different flavors of pudding mix. Butterscotch is good, coconut cream works well also just add in shredded coconut to the batter. Plan ahead, the cookie batter needs to chill for a minimum of 2 hours before baking."

  2. yummmmmmmmmmm. didn't chill at all (no time) and they still came out great. thanks!
     
  3. Fabulous cookies! I almost didn't let them chill for the full 2 hours, but I've never had a Kitten method go wrong, and I'm glad I listened. These spread perfectly and have a wonderful chewy center with that touch of crunch when you bite them. I used chocolate pudding, which is to die for with the cinnamon... I used a generous 2 teaspoons. I didn't have nuts or choco chips, so I left them out. I might add a touch of peanut butter next time, as that with the chocolate pudding could possibly be cookie heaven...
     
  4. I made these months ago,I can't believe I haven't reviewed them!Anyway they are terrific!Very moist and chewy.The suggestion to use coconut pudding mix instead of butterscotch is a good one.I'll have to try that next time,sounds very good!
     
  5. This was so good. The Butterscotch pudding mix was really good in the recipe. 8 minutes did turn out a little too short, so next time I will bake for longer, maybe ten minutes. I'm not into the whole coconut thing so when I do try another pudding mix it might be chocolate just because I'm a chocoholic. Thanks for a great cookie recipe.
