Created by Chef Carol, these soft oatmeal cookies get their signature flavor from a blend of stewed Subarashii Kudamono Dried Asian Pears and Asian Pear Spread (sold together in our Gourmet Gift Box). With oats, vanilla, and a touch of cinnamon, they bake up chewy and fragrant—familiar, yet quietly elevated with orchard sweetness in every bite.
Makes about 4 dozen cookies.

2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1.5 cup flour
1 pkg 3 oz vanilla instant pudding
1 tsp. baking soda
