I made these for Mother's Day and they were good. I used banana pudding and chocolate chips. There was barely any banana flavor, so if I made them again I might try two packs of pudding and see how that turns out. They were delicious regardless.

Not the greatest flavor. I don't think the shortcut with the pudding mix worked out too well. I will use the from scratch recipie next time.

These were so good. instead of all white chocolate I added half white and half milk chocolate They were like chocolate chip cookies only better, they had an extra yummy taste with the pudding.

I loved these cookies. Different than just a regular cookie. Kind of cakey on the inside and like a cookies on the outside. I didnt have any morsels so i just left them out. I cant wait to make these again.

To make these a little bit healthier, I use sugarfree pudding, splenda brown sugar blend, and smart balance instead of butter. I've used chocolate pudding and chips, and buterscotch pudding and chips. Both are wonderful!

I made mine with butterscotch pudding and butterscotch morsals. They were excellent! Everyone loved them and I will definitely make them again.

This recipe is wonderful! I didn't add the cranberries though. I'd deffinetly make these again. They were a huge hit! Just next time I will try regular chocolate chips instead of the white chocolate.

This recipe was Awsome! Instead of cranberries, I added crushed macadamia nuts. I'm glad the holidays are here, it gives me an excuse to make them again.

i made this recipe with devil's food pudding, and it was too rich- i also added mint pieces for the holidays, and though it gave them a nice flavor, not sure i would try it again..

These cookies were GREAT!!!! I was craving cookies. While looking in my pantry to see what I had to make cookies(because I did not want to go to the store) I had a package of chocolate pudding,so I got on this web site and found this recipe. I did however alter it slightly. The pacakge of pudding I had was 5.9 oz and I used it all(the recipe calls for a 4oz box)Also, I did not have the white baking chocolate so I used peanut butter flavored chips. And I also omitted the cranberries. They came out wonderful especially if you like chocolate and peanutbutter!!!!! Thank you for the recipe.
