Submitted by kathyd on October 24, 2009 at 4:50 pm

2 1/4 Cup Flour
1 4oz. Jello Instant Pudding
2 eggs
1 cup butter/margarine
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 12oz bag chocolate chips
1 cup nuts (optional)

1) Mix flour with baking soda and set aside.

2) Combine butter, sugars, vanilla and pudding mix in large mixing bowl, beat until smooth and creamy.

3) Beat in eggs one at a time.

4) Gradually add in flour mixture, batter will be stiff.

5) Add chips and nuts and mix by hand until fully combined.

Drop by rounded teaspoonfull about 2" apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. Makes 7 dozen cookies.

Kathy's Notes:
I use an ice cream scoop and sometimes get 2 dozen out of one batch. They are pretty big cookies but I don't believe in skimping.

To change up these cookies change the pudding/chips/nuts.

Try chocolate pudding with peanut butter chips, or how about pistachio pudding, craisins and white chocolate chips. Banana pudding makes a great cookie and so does butterscotch pudding. Good luck and enjoy your cookies!
