Steps:

Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lower-middle positions and heat oven to 375 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Whisk flour, salt, baking soda, and pudding mix together in medium bowl;set aside.
Using a stand mixer fitted with paddle, beat butter, margarine,and sugars at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes, scraping down bowl as needed. Add 1 egg at a time and vanilla and mixed until combined, about 30 seconds. Reduce speed to low and add dry ingredients; mix in additional 2 cups of whatever you decide and mix until just incorporated. Give dough a final stir to ensure that no flour pockets remain and ingredients are evenly distributed.
