Chocolate Chip Cookies!!

So (unfortunately), I found a great chocolate chip recipe off of allrecipes.com. It got like 5000 recommendations, so it is pretty good. Here it is:

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1 package instant vanilla pudding mix
2 eggs
1 tbl vanilla extract
2 cups milk chocolate chips

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder, set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar using a mixer. Beat in the instant pudding mix until blended. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Blend in the flour mixture. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips. Drop cookies onto cookie sheet
3. Bake for 10-12 minutes in the preheated oven.

Hints::
- start checking the cookies at 9 minutes. if the edges are starting to be brown, take the cookies out-- it will continue to cook on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes.
- I have found that these are even better on the second day, after spending the night in a ziploc bag. They get moister that way.
- The cookies won't expand or flatten out while cooking, so shape them how you like-- I go ahead and flatten mine out on the cookie sheet.
- Luckily, I don't have instant vanilla pudding mix in my pantry all the time, so I can't make these as much as I might want!!!
