For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of orange juice or a dash of vanilla extract to the pudding mixture. If you prefer a less sweet salad, reduce the amount of whipped topping or use a light whipped topping alternative. Feel free to experiment with different types of cookies. Chocolate chip cookies or peanut butter cookies would also be delicious in this salad. This salad is best served within 24 hours, as the cookies may soften over time.
