Vanilla Pudding Cookies

These cookies are soft and moist and delicious. I made them yesterday for a family get-together at the park with my siblings and parents and these two were all that were left (until snacktime, now they are gone!) Many of the cookies were enjoyed even before the park by my brother and his wife and our combined five kids. Toward the end of the time at the park, one nephew-son of a different brother-heaped these cookies on a plate to take home. I'm just saying that they are good. I didn't come up with the recipe, but I forgot to write where I got it when I printed it out. They are a lot like the Chocolate Pudding Cookies.
Ingredients:
1 Cup Softened Unsalted Butter
3/4 cup Brown Sugar
1/4 cup Granulated (Regular) Sugar
1 (3.5 ounce) box Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix-unprepared
2 Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
2 1/4 cups Flour
Chocolate Chips (or whatever you like to add into your cookies)

Instructions:
Cream Butter and sugars together. Add dry pudding mix, eggs, and vanilla. When they are all combined well, add the baking soda and flour. Mix well. Then add chocolate chips. I used about 1 cup of mini chocolate chips and another cup or so of white chocolate chips this time. GREASE your cookie sheet and bake at 325 degrees for about 10 minutes. Makes about four dozen cookies, so double if you are feeding a large crowd. They will go quickly.

Chocolate Pudding Cookies
Mom tested-Kid approved! These were on one of my friends' blogs a while ago and I tried them tonight. They are SO good. Unlike most chocolate cookie recipes, it uses a pudding mix instead of baking cocoa. Because of this, the cookies don't seem as greasy or as flat as normal.

Ingredients:
1 cup margarine
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 small package instant chocolate pudding
1 tsp. baking soda
2 1/2 cups flour
*Additions: you can add regular chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, coconut, nuts, pretty much anything you like.

Instructions:
Mix all ingredients together and bake on greased cookie sheet at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Do not over bake, they are meant to be soft and slightly underdone when you take them out.

Sorry about the extreme close up. I was trying to be artsy and I wanted to see how my camera does with super close shots.
