Pudding Cookies

2 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup soft butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 package vanilla instant pudding (dry)
2 eggs
1 (12 oz) package semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix flour with baking soda in 1 bowl.  Set aside.

Combine butter, sugars, vanilla, and dry pudding mix until creamy and smooth.  Beat in eggs.  Gradually add flour mixture.  Then, stir in chips and drop by teaspoon about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake approximately 8 to 9 minutes.  (Cookies may not look fully cooked when finished, but they will set up after they are taken out of the oven).

*Different puddings and chips can be substituted for a variation of flavors.
