Chocolate Chip Mint Pudding Cookies - Jan Arnell

By pcander

Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) Butter, softened
• 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
• 1/4 cup White Sugar
• 1 small pkg Instant Vanilla Pudding (or what ever pudding flavor you want, I used chocolate, of course)
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 2 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1 pkg (12 oz) semi sweet Chocolate Chips (I added about 6 oz. dark choc. chips as well - can you tell we really love dark chocolate!)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Beat the butter, both sugars, pudding mix, eggs and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat until creamy and fluffy. Then slowly mix in flour and baking soda. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop by tablespoonfuls, onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for ONLY 9-10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool about 10 minutes before eating. Can use different flavored puddings and chips for variety ... I add 1/4 t. peppermint oil when I use chocolate pudding
