Can you use Walnuts instead of pecan for these cookies?

Yes you can Sonia.

Hi Madhuram,

I made the pistachio version of the cookies you suggested and the cookies were amazing. My picky mother even loved them. I didn’t have enough pistachios so i used some walnuts and almonds… worked out really well…. Thanks for the recipe… My mom asks me to make them all the time now!!!

Thanks for the feedback Sonaly. But picky mother? I guess it’s payback time!

Hey Madhuram,
Its Sumi again, I had used the salted butter by mistake earlier, well, here is an update:
I tried this recipe again with the unsalted butter this time and with the pistachio flavor (I used almonds instead of pecans) and added some elaichi to it. Genereal consensus among my buddies was that they loved the salty butter pecan ones better, some even told me to stick to the original recipe and quit messing with it! So, thanks again for the great recipe!

Sumi glad to know that there are takers for both the versions!

Hi Madhuram, I found your website a couple of days ago and tried this recipe, it looked great, so tried it out for a party the other day, unfortunately used salted butter by mistake, but it still turned out great, a bit salty, a bit sweet but totally awesome, thansk again for this!

I made these yesterday but all I had on hand was plain vanilla flavored pudding mix (not french vanilla). I made mine with 1/2 cup of mini choc chips. I thought they were great but only could get one of my boys to eat them. I wonder if I used french vanilla if they’d be a bit more flavorful? Do you have any idea what the nutritional information on these are? I love the fact that the only sugar comes from the pudding mix.

Hi Renae, thanks for trying the recipe. We can never predict kids. I don’t think it’s because of the regular vanilla that he didn’t like it. I’m not sure about the nutrition info, will try to find it.

Is it possible to use this recipe with sugar free pudding?

You are talking about pudding mix with artificial sweeteners right? I think it will work.

This is a great site! I am using 4 pudding cups because I didn’t have instant pudding and 1 stick butter plus a bit of sugar. My son is having a blast with this and so am I!

4 cups of pudding was a bit much so I tried 2 1/4 cups flour and add 1 cup milk, I also added a bit of salt because now the good flavor is going away.

I give up…LOL… it is dry on the outside but pudding like on the inside… not sure how to fix that… next time I will try your recipe… I bet it was a lot better!!!!!!!!!

I wish you had tried the cookies with the instant pudding mix. You would love it.

Banu, thank you very much for your kind words. We loved the cookies too. Be sure to store it an airtight container, because it looses is crispness.
