and brought them up to share with everyone a couple times a week. \u00a0One of the cashiers brought chocolate chip pudding cookies a few times and I fell in love with them. \u00a0She shared the recipe with me, but since this was more than 10 years ago and it was written on a piece of notebook paper I have lost it. \u00a0But thanks to Pinterest I found another recipe for pudding cookies that seems close to the recipe I got from Ashley! \u00a0What would we do without the internet?!<\/p>\n<p><a

package of vanilla pudding mix! \u00a0This makes them softer than typical cookies and quite addictive. \u00a0I added in some toffee pieces along with the chocolate chips. \u00a0The options are endless when it comes to mix-ins though. \u00a0You could add any kind of chocolate chip, nuts, caramel bits, crushed up pretzels, etc.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter

minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. \u00a0Scoop dough onto the other cookie sheet while the one you just used cools off.<\/li>\n<li>Cookies will firm up as they cool, so if they appear
