Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try using a mix of dark chocolate and butterscotch pudding. If you don't have Sugar Twin, you can substitute with another sugar-free sweetener of your choice, but be mindful of the measurement instructions. To enhance the texture, consider adding a handful of sugar-free chocolate chips. This dough can be sticky, so lightly flour your hands while shaping the cookies.

For dessert, consider serving them alongside a slice of Mother'S Butter Cake for a sweet spread. They also make a great addition to a cookie platter for gatherings or holiday events.
Storage & Reheating
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular pudding instead of sugar-free?
Using regular pudding will change the sugar content of the cookies significantly, which may affect the texture and sweetness. If you're looking for a healthier option, it's best to stick with the sugar-free varieties as intended in the recipe.
What can I use instead of mayonnaise?
If you're not a fan of mayonnaise, you can substitute it with unsweetened applesauce or Greek yogurt for a healthier option. Each alternative will slightly change the flavor but will still keep the cookies moist.
Can I add other nuts or ingredients?
Absolutely! Feel free to substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds based on your preference. You can also add in some sugar-free chocolate chips or dried fruits to enhance the flavor and texture of the cookies.
