#554: Two-Chip Chocolate Chippers

Here's another yummy chocolate chip cookie recipe!  The worst part of this recipe is trying not to eat the supper yummy batter before making them into actual cookies.  I made these for Brian to take to a work cookout, he was very glad that this makes so many cookies (5 dozen) because we had some extras that he could eat.  :)  

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup stick margarine, softened

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup sugar

2 eggs

1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix

1 teaspoon baking soda

1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

1-1/2 cups milk chocolate chips

1-1/2 cups chopped pecans, optional (I omitted)

In a large bowl, cream the butter, margarine and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, pudding mix and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips and pecans if desired.

Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 1 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets; flatten slightly with a glass. (I did NOT flatten them...they were still really good!)  Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks.
