O-So-GOOD Oatmeal Cookies ...p99

Appropriately this recipe was submitted to the cookbook by KATIE....and I just noticed the title as I typed, wondering if it has any bearing to her new family? 

The addition of instant pudding to these O-So-GOOD cookies make them literally melt in your mouth - something I'm not used to with oatmeal cookies.  More cakelike in texture than your average oatmeal cookie perhaps because I omitted the chocolate chips since I was also making chocolate chip cookies.

My recommendation - double it!
