Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/4 cups unsifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup margarine (softened)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 (4 ounce) instant vanilla pudding (I use instant pudding mix)
2 large eggs
1 (12 ounce) chocolate chips
1 cup nuts (optional)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375°.
Mix flour with baking soda in a bowl and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine butter, sugars and pudding mix.
Beat until smooth and creamy.
Beat in eggs and vanilla; gradually add flour mixture.
Stir in chips and nuts.
Roll into balls and flatten slightly or drop by teaspoon full on a non greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes.
Note: You may use instant chocolate pudding instead of vanilla pudding for a chocolate chocolate chip cookie.
