Use an ice cream scoop to portion the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making 8 large mounds.

Bake at 400°F for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown, watching closely as baking time may vary by oven.

In a medium bowl, mix 1 package vanilla pudding mix with 1 cup milk on medium speed until thoroughly mixed.

10

In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.

11

Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until airy and fluffy.
