Well, I've put pudding in cakes before ... don't know why it took me so long to put it in cookies, but this is probably one of the best chololate chip cookie recipes I've tried.
Recipe:
INGREDIENTS
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 (3.4 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
2 cups butter, softened (yes, that's one box; one pound!)
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Stir together the flour, baking soda, salt, and pudding; set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. 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. (I formed them into little balls.) Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Edges should be golden brown. (Hint: big batch, use big mixing bowl!)
