Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies with Secret Ingredient

I realized last week that I had not made chocolate chip cookies for my blog.  I don't know how I have gone this long without making them.  I add a special ingredient to my batter that I will be sharing with you today.

You can't go wrong with a good homemade chocolate chip cookie.

 This is the recipe that is on the back of the chocolate chips bag.

 Start with 2 sticks softened butter and 3/4 cup sugar

 3/4 cup brown sugar

 Mix well.

 2 eggs

 1 teaspoon baking soda

 1 teaspoon salt

 1 teaspoon vanilla

 This is the special ingredient.  A 3 oz package of instant vanilla pudding mix.  Add the powder to the dough.

 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour

 2 cups chocolate chips.  You can add a cup of chopped nuts if you like too.

 Scoop out on a parchment lined cookie sheet.  Place in a preheated 375 oven for 9-11 minutes

You know you have to sample one while they are still warm.  Nothing like a warm fresh cookie.
