Toll House Cookie Recipe and Vanilla Instant Pudding

I like to call these cookies Super Vanilla Chocolate Chip Cookies. This recipe combines the traditional toll house cookie recipe and vanilla instant pudding plus a little extra vanilla extract for one great chocolate chip cookie.

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) of butter or margarine, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 3.4oz box of Vanilla Instant Pudding
• 3 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1 3/4 cups Nestle Toll House Milk Chocolate Morsels

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°.

Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla pudding and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels. Drop by a rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.

Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes, remove to wire racks to cool completely.

The addition of vanilla instant pudding to this toll house cookie recipe adds a definite smooth yet swift vanilla kick to this traditional favorite.
