Notes

These cookies are so moist and delicious! I don't know what it is about the pudding mix, but it really makes the inside of these cookies so soft. I like mine a minute or two underbaked, and when warm I could taste the pudding mix in the cookie. This made a large batch and I wanted to test how long they stayed soft, but we couldn't help ourselves (and I gave a few away) and they were gone by day 3. But by day 3 they were still as perfect as day 1.
