Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies

I found this recipe at Tanya's blog the Sunday Baker. These are my kids favorite chocolate chip cookies. Kids love them because they are so simple yummy cookies. I love that they have pudding in the mix to help the cookies stay moist all week. I hate when I bake cookies and the next day they are hard as a rock. This recipe makes 8 dozen cookies, so you may want to cut it in half.
What you will need:

4 1/2 c. all-purpose flour

2 t. baking soda

1-1/2 c butter (3 sticks) softened

1-1/2 c. brown sugar, packed

1/2 c. white sugar

2 (3.4 oz.) pkgs. instant vanilla pudding

4 eggs, room temp

2 t. vanilla extract

4 c. of add-ins (like chocolate chips, m&m's, nuts, chopped candy bars)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir together flour and baking soda in seperate bowl and set aside; in a large bowl, cream butter, brown and white sugar. Beat in pudding mix until well blended. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. When smooth, slowly add in the flour mixture, mix completely. Finally, add the chocolate chips, or the add-in of your choice.
