The October 2005 Recipe of the Month Super Vanilla Chocolate Chip Cookies We thank Sherry Erne, of Rochester Hills, for this great chocolate chip cookie recipe. It's perfect for after-school treats with a tall glass of milk, or for crisp autumn evenings and the start of cool weather.
Ingredients 2 sticks (4 ounces each, or, 1 cup total) butter or margarine, softened 1 small box (3.4 ounce size) vanilla pudding mix 1/4 cup sugar 3/4 cup brown sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 eggs 1 teaspoon of baking soda 2 1/4 cups of flour 1 package (12 ounces) of good quality semi-sweet chocolate chips Directions Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix the butter with electric mixer until soft, then add pudding mix, sugar, and brown sugar and continue mixing. Add vanilla, stir. Then add eggs, one at a time, stirring until well blended. Add baking soda and flour; mix until blended. Add the package of chocolate chips. Drop teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets, and bake the cookies at 375 degrees for 8 minutes or until browned. (This allows a terrific yummy texture, but if cookies get too brown too quickly, you can lower the oven temperature a wee bit, and monitor. --Ed.)   Share with Family and Friends. Enjoy!
