Tips & Substitutions
For a softer cookie, consider adding an extra tablespoon of oil or using melted butter instead of oil. You can substitute any flavor of instant pudding mix, such as chocolate or vanilla, for variety. If you want a bit of crunch, mix in some chocolate chips or nuts. Ensure the cookie sheets are not greased to achieve the desired texture, similar to Alice'S No Bake Cookies.
Serving Suggestions
