Chocolate Chip Cookies

Every time we go to visit Doug’s grandparents, we go straight to the cookie jar. Her cookies are amazing. Doug tried these cookies and said, “Did you get Grandma’s recipe? These taste just like Grandma’s cookies.” I don’t know if it’s the same recipe that she uses, but they taste pretty close to hers. You could also vary the flavor of the pudding and the chips, i.e. chocolate pudding/ peanut butter chips. Oh and the recipe makes a ton, so freeze some of the dough for another batch later on.

4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups butter, softened
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 (3.4 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the flour and baking soda, set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Beat in the instant pudding mix until blended. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Blend in the flour mixture. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips and nuts. Drop cookies by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Edges should be golden brown.
