Another chocolate chip cookie recipe.  Why not?  There are so many ways you can tweak a ccc recipe.  These use an instant vanilla pudding mix (mix only, you do not make the pudding with milk). 

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  Chill the dough before baking and preheat your oven before baking.

• Ingredients list
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup butter flavor crisco
• 3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed  into measuring cup
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 2 tbs water
• 1 instant vanilla pudding mix
• 3 1/2 cups flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding mix
• 2 cups chocolate chips

Directions – in a bowl, cream butter, butter crisco, brown sugar and sugar.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Blend in pudding mix, then dry ingredients.  Fold in chips. Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough.  Form tall mounds, like below.

Chill a few hours.  When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Stagger cookies on sheet.  Bake 10 to 12 minutes, no longer.

Remove from oven.  Cookies will be gushy, but will firm up.  Cool completely.

   Store in covered container.
