I honestly didn’t remember the vanilla pudding but it’s a large batch. Lots of oatmeal there. I mostly remember barely being able to mix it as a kid
I’ve usually made the trad Toll House recipe with a few mods, one being that I drop the dough on the sheet and then stick that in the fridge for an hour before baking. I’ve made them with dark brown sugar instead of light, and I liked the results. I agree with Alton about using bread flour, and going by weight instead of volume.
