My Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

I found this recipe while blog stalking once, and I have been making my chocolate chip cookies this way ever since! Seriously, they are so good.

First things first!

-Only use Guittard Brand Chocolate Chips (I always use Milk chocolate, but you semi-sweet lovers can do what you want!)

-Don't be afraid to throw in some Tollhouse Butterscotch Chips in every once in while, you know, to keep things interesting.

-Use Jell-O brand vanilla instant pudding

Recipe:

• 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 cups salted butter, softened (1 lb, or 4 cubes)
• 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 2 (3.4 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
• 4 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 cups semisweet chocolate chips (or one bag)
• 2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the flour and baking soda, set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Beat in the instant pudding mix until blended. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Blend in the flour mixture. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips and nuts. Drop cookies by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Edges should be golden brown.
