1 c. butter
1/4 c. sugar
3/4 c. brown sugar, packed
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs, beaten
1 pkg. INSTANT vanilla pudding
2 1/2 c. unsifted flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 pkg. (12 oz.) chocolate chips

Cream butter and then add both sugars until creamy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine dry pudding mix with above ingredients until smooth and creamy. Mix together flour and baking soda; add gradually. Mix chocolate chips into dough; the batter should be stiff. Drop by spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet.

Bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 2 or 3 minutes before removing. They will be very soft. NOTE: 1 (16 ounce) package of M&M'S® can be substituted for the chocolate chips.
