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.

Blond Microwave Fudge

My mom makes this in her Microwave. The fudge recipe used to be on the back of the Marshmallow creme jar. That is where she got the Microwave part anyway. She adapted it to make the blond fudge. It was well received and she'll be making it again.
FYI-I don't like white chocolate. I do really like her milk chocolate fudge though and just in case YOU like white chocolate, you can try this one out.
Microwave Blond Fantasy Fudge
1 1/2 cubes butter or margarine (3/4 cup)
3 cups granulated Sugar
2/3 cup Evaporated milk
12 oz White chocolate chips
1 jar Marshmallow creme
1 teas vanilla
1 cup chopped Nuts, optional (I like Cashews)

Butter a 9x9" pan. Microwave the butter in a 4 qt microwavable dish until melted. 1 minute depending on your microwave. Add Sugar and Evaporated milk and mix well. Microwave on high 5 minutes, stirring after 3 minutes. Stir well, scrape down sides of bowl and microwave 5 1/2 minutes stirring again at 3 minutes. Add white chocolate chips, stir until melted in, then add the marshmallow creme, vanilla and nuts (if desired). Pour into buttered pan and leave at room temperature 4-6 hours. Cut and enjoy.

To make this chocolate fudge substitute the white chocolate for real chocolate or semi-sweet chips.
I prefer to put in Milk chocolate chips and Cashews for the nuts. YUMMY!
