they are "the best cookie ever" according to darin!! :) yeah, they are actually really delicious! they are chewy and taste like they're underdone when they are actually done. Defintely a keeper recipe and one that will make you want to eat too many!!

i just made these tonight. i added 1 tsp of salt, and they turned out great! they are still warm so i can't tell how long they will stay chewy, but the pudding definitely adds a little something. thanks for the recipe. i'm always looking!!
