I love these cookies! They are so easy to make and taste delicious! Be sure not to overbake, as they are more shortbread-like and will continue to firm up while cooling. I love the idea of adding the Eng. toffee bits to the batter--can't wait to try that next! :)

I made this recipe twice so far 7 substituted pistachio pudding mix (Instant) the first time and substituted semi-sweet chocolate chips for the nuts! I also added 1 Tbsp. corn syrup (Light) & 1 tsp. of vanilla extract to make the dough more pliable! Today I used the butterscotch pudding mix (Instant) & used a package of English Toffee Bits instead of the nuts! Dawn E. Lowenstein
