One of those recipes that have been passed down through the generations... this is a lot of work, but SO worth it... Edit to this recipe: I should say that this is one of those until it looks right recipes. You want the pudding thick and you may have to cook, stir, cook, you will want to stir constantly and it will be hard to stir. You also might want to refrigerate it overnight if it needs to thicken (this also makes the cookies a little mushy which I LOVE)

3 cups sugar
8 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
8 cups milk
4 eggs
