pudding cookies

Speaking of cookie recipes that are too good to not post...
This is my all time favorite easy cookie to make! This recipe makes 4 1/2 dozen, but they stay moist for a long time.

4 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) softened butter
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup white sugar
2 (3.4 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding
4 eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups of add ins (chocolate chips, cut up candy bars, etc.)

1. Combine flour and baking soda in a separate bowl.

2. In a large bowl cream butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Add packages of pudding and blend well. Then stir in eggs and vanilla. Next add the flour mixture, slowly. Then mix in your choice of add ins.

3. Make 1 inch balls and place on cookie sheets with parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.

I like these better if they are slightly undone, pull them out when they are just a tiny bit golden.
