Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies

Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
1/2 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3.5 oz package instant vanilla pudding mix*
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or baking mats.
In a large bowl beat together the butter and sugars until fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract.
With the mixer on low speed mix in the pudding mix, flour, baking soda & salt. Turn off the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
Mix in the chocolate chips. I typically mix in 1 3/4 cups, and reserve 1/4 cup of chocolate chips for dotting the tops of each cookie.
Form the dough into balls about 1.5 tablespoons in size. Place 2 inches apart on the lined cookie sheets.
Bake 1 cookie sheet at a time for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops are just set.
Cool for at least 10 minutes on the baking tray, before transferring to a wire rack to continue cooling.
