Chocolate Chip Cookies with Pudding

I'm picky about my cookies. These are pretty much perfect...perfect dough (yum), perfect out of the oven (yummy), perfect even after cooled (yummers). They even keep the perfect shape while baking. The vanilla pudding keeps them soft and yummy. I varied the recipe I found on allrecipes. There is pudding in the mix, which blows my mind. I thought they'd taste funny, but they don't! They taste delicious, like normal choc. chip cookies. Try it for yourself! :D

Chocolate Chip Cookies

4 1/2 c flour
3 tsp baking soda
2 c butter, softened
1/2 c sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 c packed brown sugar
3-3.4 oz packages instant vanilla pudding
4 eggs
2 Tbsp vanilla
2 1/2 c chocolate chip cookies

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix flour and baking soda in medium bowl; set aside.
2. In large bowl, cream butter, sugars and salt with hand beaters or mixer. Beat in instant pudding powder until well blended. Beat in eggs and vanilla until well blended. Mix in flour. Stir in chocolate chips.
3. Drop cookies by spoonful on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Keep dough refrigerated in between each batch to avoiding cookies spreading too much.
