Recipe and directions on making yourself a legendary chocolate chip cookie maker...
The Recipe...
Remember- proceed with caution. It's not easy being a legend!!!
Before you start baking, do you have an oven thermometer? I don't bake anything without one. No two ovens heat the same, but a thermometer will tell you exactly where you're at!O.K. ready for the secret ingredient?
INSTANT PUDDING!!!!!!
Doesn't sound like much, but after you try them, you'll be a believer!
Here we go:
(I'm giving you the original recipe, but I usually make a half batch.)
THE RECIPE
4 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups butter, soft
1/2 cup white granulated sugar
1 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 packages (4 serve each) instant vanilla pudding
4 eggs
2 packages (12 oz each) chocolate chips
Preheat oven to EXACTLY 375*
Mix flour and baking soda. In a large bowl, cream together butter, sugars, vanilla, and dry pudding. Mix with blender until smooth. Beat in eggs. gradually add flour/soda mixture. Add chocolate chips.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, depending on size of cookies. Do not overbake! Cookies will appear slightly raw in the middle. Remove hot cookies from cookie sheet with spatula immediately, cool on a layer of paper towels on counter.
Once you get the basic recipe down, feel free to experiment. Use different flavors of pudding. I've used lemon pudding with white chips. Chocolate pudding with mint chips. Add nuts or crushed candy canes, whatever sounds good to you!
Good luck!

The History of the Chocolate Chip cookie...
A chocolate chip cookie, or Toll House Cookie, is a drop cookie that originated in the United States and features chocolate chips as its distinguishing ingredient. The traditional recipe combines a dough composed of butter and both brown and white sugar with semi-sweet chocolate chips. Variations include recipes with other types of chocolate or additional ingredients, such as nuts or oatmeal.
