Vanilla Pudding Cookies

<< Vanilla Pudding Cookies are easy to prepare and come highly recommended from my friend Cheryl. You can change the flavoring of this cookie recipe by substituting another flavor of pudding. The cookies stay moist for a few days if kept in a airtight container, if they last that long.

Ingredients for Vanilla Pudding Cookies:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 3/4 of one package of dried instant vanilla pudding (one pkg. is usually 3.5-4.0 oz.)
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cups all purpose white flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• Optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until smooth. Beat in the pudding and once blended, add the eggs and vanilla, beating well after each addition. Continue to beat at medium speed for about 4 minutes.

Place flour and baking soda in a small bowl. Using a spatula, fold a bit at a time into the cookie batter. Continue by folding in the chocolate chips and if desired, the nuts.

Using a teaspoon, tablespoon or using your hands to make little balls, form cookies and place on ungreased baking sheet, leaving an inch between them.

Bake for 10-12 minutes in centre of oven. Remove from oven and cool - eat right away or cool and store.

Makes 2 1/2 - 3 dozen (depending on size)
