This is one of two cookie recipes I use when I go to potlucks. I have written this one out at least a dozen times!! Kudos to a family friend from way back in the past for this one! Grandma Froma has helped to keep this one alive!! In this one, I have changed NOTHING! :-)
Ingredients
2 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 small box instant vanilla pudding (the secret ingredient)
2 eggs
1-12oz. package chocolate chips (I use dark chocolate chips)
1 cup walnuts (optional - a HUGE no no in my house due to my little gal's allergies)
Preheat oven to 350.
Mix flour and soda in separate bowl.
In another bowl combine butter, sugar, pudding mix, and vanilla and beat until smooth. Beat in eggs. Add flour mixture gradually, mixing well. Stir in chips and walnuts (if using).
Drop by tablespoons full onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 11 minutes or until golden brown.
Makes about 3-4 dozen, depending on how big you make them.
**I guarantee these will NOT last long.
