Ingredients
2 ¼cupflour
1small box vanilla pudding mix
1teaspoonbaking soda
1cupbutter or margarinesoftened
2eggs
1cupbrown sugarpacked
1cupnutsoptional
1teaspoonvanilla
12-ouncepackage semi-sweet chocolate chips
Chocolate chip cookies on a baking sheet
Instructions
First, mix the flour and baking soda in a separate bowl. Set this bowl aside while you prepare the rest of the dough.
Next, combine the butter, sugar, pudding mix and vanilla in mixing bowl. Beat until smooth.
Once it is creamy, add your eggs and mix well. (I add both eggs at once and then beat until creamy once they have been added.)
Once it is well beaten, you will add the flour mixture and mix well.
Then add the chocolate chips.
Mix well.
Place the cookies on an ungreased baking sheet. I find that if I roll them into balls before placing them on the sheet, they look prettier when they come out of the oven!
Bake at 350 degrees for 9-11 minutes. I like to keep a close eye on them and take them out when the bottom of the cookie is just starting to turn golden brown.
Notes
As a pro tip, I often double the recipe and make one batch, while freezing the other batch for another day. I then take out a little bit each day to make just enough cookies for each of our kids to have one freshly-baked cookie when they come home from school.
