Secret Ingredient Cookies
a la Carlie

1 cup butter
3/4 c brown sugar
1/4 c sugar
3.5 oz package of vanilla pudding mix
2 eggs
1 t vanilla
2 1/4 c flour
1 t soda
2 c chocolate chips

Cream butter and sugars. Add pudding mix, eggs and vanilla. Then add flour and soda. Fold in chocolate chips.
Bake 375 for 10-12 minutes
Variations:
Since you are using a mix, you can sub any flavor! Chocolate is great, of course. To make them peanut butter cookies, sub the butter for 1/2 c shortening and 1 c peanut butter. For oatmeal cookies, reduce flour to 1 1/4 cups and add 3 c oatmeal.
As a side note, you are simply pouring the box of dry pudding into the mix, not actually following the directions to make pudding to add. When I first sent this recipe to my sister, she added pre-made pudding cups and didn't understand why I had raved about how good these cookies were.
