Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

Sweets can be part of a balanced diet but remember to keep tabs on portions.

Gift It

Pack cooled cookies in festive resealable food storage bags. A gift tag and bow are the perfect finishing touches to the colorful bags that look great while locking in freshness.

Variation

Prepare using other flavor combinations of JELL-O Instant Pudding and stir-ins, such as Pistachio Pudding with dried cherries, Lemon Pudding with chopped PLANTERS Pecans, or Vanilla Pudding with chopped BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate.
