Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

So someone else really needs to post some stuff! I'm bored so I will post another one that seems to be a crowd pleaser. :)

Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 cubes butter, softened
3/4 C sugar
3/4 C brown sugar
2 eggs
1 t baking soda
1 t salt
1 t vanilla
regular sized box of instant vanilla pudding mix
12 oz bag of ghiradelli chocolate chips (silver bag)
3 cups of flour

Mix everything except for the chocolate chips and flour together. Then add flour 1/2 cup at a time. It will seem so thick but you really do need all of that flour! Add bag of chocolate chips..(the brand of chocolate chips really does make a difference on this one!) Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes or until just barely golden brown. When you take them out, they may not look all the way done but if you let them sit for 15 mins the pudding will set and they will be perfect!
