Chocolate Chip Cookies with Pudding in the Mix

Mmmmmm......love these. They have the perfect texture and the vanilla taste is awesome. I got this recipe from a friend long ago and hadn't made them myself until last weekend. Needless to say, I never got around to taking a picture before they were all gobbled up!

3/4 c shortening

3/4 c butter

3/4 c sugar

1 1/2 c brown sugar

3 eggs

2 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

4 1/2 c flour

1 3 oz. box vanilla pudding

3 c chocolate chips

Bake at 350 for 8 min. They should look underdone. Enjoy! They will not be as flat as other chocolate chip cookies....I flattened some of mine prior to cooking and decided I liked them better when I just left them to do their own thing.
