After reading all the negative & positive reviews, just had to try one batch. I used buttermilk pancake mix, regular butterscotch pudding, rolled the dough into balls & flattened with sugar coated glass bottom. They were lovely...thank you for sharing.

To CeeJay~~~ You would use only 1 sugar free pudding mix. The weight in a box of regular pudding mix would result, primarily from the weight of the sugar as the sweetener. Sugar Free uses artificial sweeteners which are less volume & lighter by weight. Hope this helps. I plan to try these cookies. They sound so good & quick & easy.

Can these be made with sugar free butterscotch pudding mix? The sugar free mixes are 1 oz so guess I will need 3 boxes. Will this work??

I'm confused by all the complaining regarding this recipe. I tried the recipe as written, and thought they were super easy to make and had a Fabulous taste!! My whole family really really loved them. I am putting them on my annual Christmas cookie list---if I can wait that long to make them again. :)

This could possibly be the worst cookie I ever tasted. I too ended up thowing the whole batch in the trash but only after my husband made fun of them. What a waste of time and money! Really Taste of Home, I expect better!!!!

I baked these cookies tonight and after tasting the first one, I threw the entire batch in the trash. They are the worst cookies I have ever made - and I have been cooking and baking for over 50 years! I agree with the majority of the posts on this recipe - they are terrible! There is no 'cookie' taste or texture to them. They may be quick and cheap to make - but if they don't taste good - what's the point? I don't think I have EVER made a recipe from any of your magazines (and I subscribe to several) that I was not completely pleased with - but this one has gone to my shredder. Thanks for allowing me to reply. Vicki B.

I have to agree with the majority of those posting - I threw out all these cookies - well, all but the one I tasted. They had no sweet 'cookie' taste at all-not anything I would ever serve to guests. I have shredded the recipe.
