Line baking sheets with a silicone mat or parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, pudding mix, baking soda, and salt.

In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and fluffy.

Beat in eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl each time.

Beat in vanilla extract.

Gradually add the flour mixture and mix just until combined, don’t overbeat.

Stir in chocolate chips.

Divide batter using a cookie dough scoop or tablespoon onto prepared baking sheets.

Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are set and lightly golden brown. These cookies are best a little under-baked. 

Allow to cool on pan for 2 minutes, then remove to a wire rack.

Serve or store in an airtight container.
