Recipe of the Day: Secret-Ingredient Chocolate Chip Cookies

There are a million chocolate chip cookie recipes, but I (Dawn) have always thought the ones with the "secret ingredient" were pretty impressive!  The secret ingredient is.... drum roll please.... 1 small box of instant vanilla pudding!  Here's a recipe to try it out on:

Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 ¼ cups unsifted all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup butter (softened) or 1 cup margarine (softened)

¼ cup granulated sugar

¾ cup packed light brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 (4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding 

2 large eggs

1 (12 ounce) package chocolate chips

1 cup nuts (optional) 

 

Preheat oven to 375°.Mix flour with baking soda in a bowl and set aside.In a large bowl, combine butter, sugars and pudding mix.Beat until smooth and creamy.Beat in eggs and vanilla; gradually add flour mixture.Stir in chips and nuts.Roll into balls and flatten slightly or drop by teaspoon full on a non greased cookie sheet.Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes.

**Tip** Once your cookies have cooled, you can also seal them in a container with a piece of bread to keep them soft!
