Chocolate anyone??

 

Mom’s Chocolate Chip Cookies

Yield: 3.5 dozen

Note: This recipe is from my mom.  You can substitute chocolate pudding and white chocolate chips or make up your own combinations.  Chocolate-chocolate, chocolate-butterscotch, vanilla-chocolate… the list is long.  I usually eliminate nuts from any recipe, and this recipe doubles well.

 

INGREDIENTS

1 cup butter

1/4 cup white sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

2 1/4 cups flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. vanilla

1 pkg instant vanilla  pudding

1 – 12oz. pkg. chocolate chips

1 cup nuts, chopped (optional)

 

DIRECTIONS:  Preheat oven to 357 degrees.  Cream butter and sugars.  Add egg and beat until smooth.  Add vanilla, baking soda, and flour.  Mix until ‘just’ mixed.  Add pudding, chocolate chips and nuts.  Mix together.  Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes.  Let cool a few minutes on the cookie sheet.  Remove from cookie sheet to a cooling rack and cool completely before storing.
