Beat in one egg at a time, not the mixture will be sticky at first. 3. Grease a cookie sheet, put teaspoonsful of the dough on the cookie sheet. Bake at one at 400F for 40 minutes. Do not open the door of the oven for the first 15 minutes or they will fall. 4. Cool and cut in half. Remove the cooled pudding and mix with the cool whip.
