Amazing Chocolate Chip Cookies

Everyone in my house loves chocolate chip cookies...they won't be around for long. 

Ingredients

• 2 cups of all-purpose flour 
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 2 sticks of butter, softened
• 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 (4) oz box of instant vanilla pudding and pie filling
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate baking chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350° degrees.

Lightly grease a cookie sheet and set aside.

In a small bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, using a hand blender, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the beaten eggs and vanilla extract and blend until smooth. Stir in the vanilla pudding and pie filling, and mix just until blended. 

Add the flour mixture and, using a spoon or fork, stir the mixture just until all ingredients are well blended. Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate baking chips.

Drop by rounded tablespoon fulls onto the prepared cookie sheet and place them two inches apart. (I usually measure out two tablespoons per cookie.)

Cook the cookies for 10 - 12 minutes or until the edges are slightly brown.

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes and transfer them to a cooling rack to finish cooling.

Enjoy with a nice glass of milk or your favorite beverage!

Makes 36 cookies
