First, leave the butter out on the counter to soften enough to mix. (My favorite butter is the Land O'Lakes unsalted)
After butter is soft, mix butter with sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla
Mix all the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda & pudding mix) into a seperate bowl
Once the soft indgredients are mixed begin slowly adding drying ingredients
Lastly, mix in the chocolate chips
Now is when I preheat the oven to 375
Now that the cookie dough is prepared I like to put it in the refrigerator to help it get a bit more firm and less sticky
Once you can handle the dough without it sticking to your hands you can begin rolling the dough into little balls, or use a scoop to place little dollops of dough on the backing sheet
I like to use my stone baking sheets when I bake these cookies, so I begin placing the balls on my preheated stone cookie sheet
Bake the cookies for 8-10 min depending on how brown you like your cookie to be
