This chocolate chip cookie recipe is awesome.  Lisa found it on the web.  It had hundreds of positive votes and it's won awards too.

Ingredients

• 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 cups butter, softened
• 1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
• 2 (3.4 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
• 4 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)

Steps

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
• Into a large bowl, sift together, flour and baking soda and set aside
• In your mixer bowl, cream together butter, brown and white sugars
• Beat in both packages of pudding mix until blended
• Stir in eggs and vanilla
• Blend in the flour mixture (you may wish to blend in flour mixture by hand so as not to overwork the dough, I use a heavy rubber spatula for this)
• Finally, stir in chocolate chips and nuts (if desired).  If it's too hard to stir these in, use your hands to gently work them into the dough
• Drop cookies by rounded spoonfuls or from a cookie dough scooper onto ungreased cookie sheets
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.  Cookies are done when edges begin to turn golden brown
• Once removed from oven, leave cookies on cookie sheet for 2 minutes, then remove to cooling rack.  Cool cookie sheet before reusing for the next batch of cookies.  I run mine under cool water, then dry and reuse

  Makes about 6 dozen small cookies
