The BEST choc chip cookes in the world

LITERALLY

3 1/2 c. unsifted flour
1 1/2 t. baking soda
1 1/2 c. butter, softened to room temp
1 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 c. white sugar
1 large pkg Jello brand pudding, vanilla, pecan, chocolate, or choc fudge
1 1/2 t. vanilla
3 eggs
3 c. choc chips
1 1/2 c. chopped nuts (opt)

Mix flour with baking soda and set aside. Combine butter, sugars, pudding mix and vanilla in large mixer bowl. Beat until smooth and creamy. Beat in eggs. Gradually add flour mixture; then stir in chips and nuts. Batter will be very stiff. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets about 2 in. apart. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes. (my oven does them in 9 minutes)

While baking:
