Everyone who has tried these cookies says they're the best they've ever eaten. I'm sure the addition of pudding mix makes all the difference.

Tip

Substitute for Nuts

If your family loves the crunch of nuts in brownies and chocolate chip cookies, but someone is allergic to them, add granola or crisp rice cereal in the same amounts as the nuts called for in your recipes. But, always check the granola or cereal packages for nut allergy alerts to be certain.

I feel the same way that cherrylady does about recipes without pictures. I usually pass on the ones without photos but this same recipe can be found on allrecipes.com with 9 pictures.

I made these cookies with butterscotch pudding instead of vanilla. I also substituted 1 c. of choc. chips for butterscotch chips. They are soft and delicious!

I'm making these cookies yet again for a concert tomorrow. Everyone agrees they are the best ever!

These were not a hit with my family. Not a fan of adding the pudding, just tasted strange. Not enough sugar and way to dense.

These are great! Instead of walnuts (kids don't like them) I use a 1/2 of cup of Skor Chipits and Rainbow chips! Great hit every time!

Is it just me, or do others feel this way too. . . I want to see a picture of a recipe before I try it. I know what kind of cookie I like when I see it. Without a picture, I'm not going to waste my time.

These cookies had just the texture I was looking for - soft and chewy, not crispy. They look like little pillows, like something you'd see at a fancy bakery. I found that I needed a bit more vanilla extract and a dash of salt in the recipe. I also switched out the baking soda for baking powder. This will be my go-to cookie recipe from now on!

Awesome cookies! Very moist and tasty. If using a baking stone, I would preheat it in the oven as it is preheating. I did this and the cookies turned out perfect!

Loved the original recipe but as another person commented they are fun to experiment with! We used pumpkin spice pudding, white chocolate chips and pecans in place of other ingred. Turned out great! Thanks for sharing recipe!

This has become a family favorite cookie recipe (we affectionately call them "pudding cookies")! After the vanilla, we have tried chocolate, white chocolate, and even pumpkin spice pudding mixes (I added some pumpkin pie spice). They are all delicious, and the kids love to experiment with flavors of pudding and chips! White chocolate with swirled chips (semisweet/white) is probably our favorite, but tonight I made devil's food pudding and pecans. Another winner!

Good cookies I did have to bake them a bit longer. Probaly because I used a cooking stone instead of cookie sheet. Will make again

Everyone agreed these are the best chocolate chip cookies ever. I'm making them again today and adding some peanut butter chips to the chocolate.

My husband says this is the best chocolate chip cookie recipe I have ever made. Oddly enough the first time I made them I forgot to add the baking soda and my husband prefers them made that way. I do sneak about 1/2 tsp of baking soda into the recipe so the cookies flatten just a bit to suit my tastes. I also substitute milk chocolate chips for semi-sweet as the recipe calls for to also suit our tastes.

I found these cookies easy to make but my family thought they needed more sugar they didn't seem sweet eought. My regular chocolate chip cookies were rated higher than these by my family.

Maybe it's just my oven, but I had to cook them a lot longer than the recipe called for. They did turn out very nice though.

This is an excellent recipe. The cookies are very moist and have a very good flavor. My Grandson requests these often. I have tried the chocolate pudding, but we prefer the vanilla. I have even added a bit of cinnamon to the mix.
