Chocolate Pudding Chocolate Chip Cookies

My mother-in-law is coming over for dinner tonight so I needed to make a dessert with stuff I already had in the cupboard.
I saw some Pudding Cookies a few days ago and thought they looked delicious and I had enough of the ingredients, or a variation of some, to make them. 

I have only used pudding in cookies one other time to make the Cookies and Cream Cookies that my family is now hooked on. 

Since my experience with pudding in cookies has been good thus far, I gave it a go and they came out tasting tasty. 

Chocolate Pudding Chocolate Chip Cookies 

recipe adapted from Chef In Training

Ingredients 

3/4 cup butter, softened 

3/4 cup brown sugar 

1/4 cup white sugar 

1 box (2.1 oz) sugar free fat free chocolate pudding mix

2 eggs 

1 tsp vanilla 

1 tsp baking soda 

2 cups white whole wheat flour 

1 cup chocolate chips 

Directions 

Preheat oven to 350 and spray cookie sheets with non-stick spray. 

In a bowl, mix flour and baking soda together and set aside.

Beat butter and sugars together until well combined.  

Add pudding mix and beat again until mixed in. 

Add eggs and vanilla and beat again. 

Gradually add flour and baking soda, mixing slowly until well combined. 

*I used my KitchenAid and threw it all in, turned it on low at first and then gradually sped things up.

Add chocolate chips and stir. 

Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out dough and place on greased cookie sheet. 

Bake at 350 for about 8 minutes.
