Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

Soft cookies are my favorite.  I really like this recipe, but it does make a lot for two people.

Ingredients:

2-1/4 C. all purpose flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 C. butter, softened

¾ C. packed brown sugar

¼ C. white sugar

1 (3.4 oz.) package instant vanilla pudding mix

2 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 bag (12 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350*. Sift together flour and baking soda, set aside.

In large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar.  Beat in instant pudding mix until blended.  Mix in eggs and vanilla extract, and slowly add flour mixture.  Mix in chocolate chips by hand. 

Drop cookies on ungreased cookie sheet by rounded teaspoon and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.  Enjoy warm with cold glass of milk.  Makes approx. 36 cookies.
