Eggless Pudding Cookies and homemade Cookie Tray

Few months back I had baked eggless butter pecan cookies using instant butterscotch pudding mix, which was a big hit. These pudding cookies are very easy to put together and taste very good. You don’t need eggs, baking soda, baking powder or sugar. With only 3 ingredients (nuts optional) butter, pudding mix and flour you can bake these amazing pudding cookies in no time. If you are interested in baking but have not baked before this is “the recipe” you should try. Nothing can go wrong and I guarantee that everybody who taste these cookies will be asking you for the recipe.

Since it’s Christmas season, I’ve decided to bake goodies and give it to the people in my community, like the firefighters, ER workers, librarians, post men, etc. So I decided to bake these pudding cookies in 3 different flavors, create an assorted cookie tray and hand it over to some of them.
This time I tried the instant pistachio pudding mix and french vanilla flavors. Simply follow the butter pecan cookies recipe and substitute the butterscotch pudding mix with pistachio pudding mix for 1 batch and french vanilla pudding mix for another batch. Also substitute the pecans with chopped pistachios and mini semi sweet chocolate chips respectively.
The 2 changes I made this time was:
1 Toasting the nuts before adding it to the dough. This gave a nice crunch to the cookies. Toast the nuts in the oven itself while it is preheating.
2 Shaping the dough into balls and then flattening it with my palm. For this I first dropped tablespoonsful of dough on the baking sheets. I got 21 cookies for each mix. Then I greased my hands by with little butter (from the butter wrapper) and then rolled each into ball and then flattened it by pressing it with my palm. So this time I got beautiful round cookies for all the batches. Last time I just dropped a tablespoonful of dough and used a fork to press it down.

I was seriously dissapointed. There was no recepie for this at all. All that’s posted are the ingredients. Do you bake them?? put them in the freezer for 3 hours, put everything in the garbage disposal after you mix it all???? What do you do after you mix everything?????
Hi Luana, I understand your frustration but I would appreciate some politeness while commenting. You wouldn’t have been disappointed had you gone through the post carefully. I have given the link to the recipe for pudding cookies in the very first line of the paragraph itself, in the dark blue color highlighted words “eggless butter pecan cookies”.
Anyways, I’m giving it here once again. http://www.egglesscooking.com/2008/08/03/eggless-butter-pecan-cookies/
