Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter instead of margarine. You can also substitute half of the chocolate chips with nuts or dried fruit for added texture. If you want a chewier cookie, try chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Make sure not to overmix the dough to keep the cookies soft and tender.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of sweetener?
Yes, you can replace the granulated sugar with coconut sugar or a sugar substitute of your choice. Just keep in mind that this may alter the texture and sweetness level of the cookies slightly, so adjust the amounts to your taste.
What can I use instead of instant pudding?
If you don't have instant pudding, you can omit it and add an extra egg to maintain moisture. Alternatively, you can use a small amount of cornstarch mixed with your flour to simulate the thickening effect of pudding.
How can I make these cookies gluten-free?
To make gluten-free cookies, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to use a blend that contains xanthan gum, or add it separately to maintain the right texture. Adjust baking time if needed.
