These are the easiest any best tasting cookies ever! I have tried a few variations of pudding and chips and all have been great!

I made these cookies for my brother serving in Iraq. I wanted something more seasonal, so I changed the recipe in that I used Jell-O Pumpkin spice flavor pudding, added 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice, and omitted the cranberries. I used white baking chips instead of the baking chocolate. These cookies are wonderful. Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside. I made extra for my co-workers and everyone is requesting the recipe.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS RECIPE. IT IS SO CHEWY, I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THE PERFECT COOKIE FOR A LONG TIME! I LEFT OUT THE CRANBERRIES AND HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT FLAVORS OF CHIPS. REALLY GOOD!

These cookies are very good. Although I think that a whole package of the Chips was a bit too much. I will only use 1/2 a package next time.

I'M THE COOK THAT SPRINKLED POWDER SUGAR ON TOPS OF THE COOKIES AND I FORGOT TO ALSO ADD THAT I LEFT OUT THE CRANBERRIES.

The cookies are great - crisp on the outside and gooey in the middle! I used vanilla pudding and white chocolate chunks. Next time I will just buy white chocolate chips. I omitted the cranberries These cookies are yummy - I'm bringing them to a BBQ this weekend!!!

My 9 year old daughter made these for a class project. She used vanilla pudding, and white chocolate chips. She did not use any dried fruits. Cookies were so good she had many kids and adults ask for the recipe!
