  What Kind of Pudding Can I Use to Make Pudding Cookies?

  To make these cookies we’re going to be using instant pudding mix — just the mix. You definitely don’t want to make the pudding, we’re just throwing the dry mix into the batter. Use “Instant” pudding and not the kind that needs to be cooked on the stovetop (again, we’re not actually preparing the pudding, but the mixes are different and you want to use the right mix!).
