Peanut Butter / Choc Chip Pudding Cookies

I got this recipe from The Sunday Baker.  I made them for a church activity and I have had 3 people call to get the recipe, so I figured it was a good recipe to hold on to.

FORMULA:

4 1/2 c. all-purpose flour

2 t. baking soda

1-1/2 c butter (3 sticks) softened

1-1/2 c. brown sugar, packed

1/2 c. white sugar

2 (3.4 oz.) pkgs. instant vanilla pudding

4 eggs, room temp

2 t. vanilla extract

3 c. of add-ins - I used Reese's peanut butter chips & semi-sweet chips but you could use anything you like (chocolate/butterscotch/peanut butter/white chocolate chips, candy bars, m&m's, nuts, etc.)

PROCESS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir together flour and baking soda in seperate bowl and set aside; in a large bowl, cream butter, brown and white sugar. Beat in pudding mix until well blended. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. When smooth, slowly add in the flour mixture. This can take a little while, but make sure it's well incorporated into mix.

Finally, add the "fillers".

Line your cookie sheets with parchment paper, scoop in 1" balls and bake for 8-12 minutes or until golden.
