Best Cookie Recipe Ever! REALLY!

When I was working at First Interstate Bank (long time ago, huh) before married days, an old grandma type worked alongside my sister in law and I. She brought the most awesome cookies in ever (these cookies and snickerdoodles) . I was super nice to her and she gave me both recipes.  Now this cookie recipe is probably floating around on the web. These cookies have brought us joy and of course other people joy when we give them some. These cookies are made for sharin'. They will not embarrass your cookie skills.  People will praise you and think you are the BEST baker ever! This recipe puts the Tollhouse cookie recipe to the hall of shame. Enough of bragging, let's get to it!
(this is what they look like after they have been baked) Notice their friends, the rolls! Family is eatin' good tonight!
After we let them cool, we lock them away in a tupperware like dish to keep soft. 
 Here it is, aaaaahhhh!(P.S. Don't skimp on the pudding...)
2 and 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 small pkg of vanilla instant pudding (I use french vanilla..)
2 eggs
1 pkg (12oz) chocolate chips (I normally use milk chocolate not semi sweet but tonight we did dark chocolate)

Combine butter, the sugars, vanilla, and the pudding. Beat with mixer until smooth and creamy. Beat in eggs. Mix in the flour and baking soda with a spoon. Then stir in the chips.

Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes. (makes 4 dozenish).

**Note this recipe is very versatile. You can use  the chocolate puddings with different chips or keep with vanilla pudding and use different chips.  I have done the andes mint chips, reese pb chips. Instead of chocolate chips, you can put in 2 cups of oatmeal with some raisins and have oatmeal raisin chips.

***How about banana chocolate chip cookies.....Use banana cream pudding. 3 very ripe bananas and about 3/4 of the bag. You might have to bake a smidge longer.

IF you try these, please comment and let me know if you did anything different or how it was.

Busy week

Sorry no pictures. I have been so busy this week to a point where I am sure to have a nervous breakdown. First, I have a student teacher in my room over the next 10 weeks. I thought it would be a welcome relief to give her things to teach but I am more exhausted and it is tiring work. Then grades had to be put in and it was down over the Christmas break so I had a huge pile to get in. Parent teacher conferences were on Thursday. I didn't meet with alot. I met with most of my students'  parents. The one that I wanted to talk to of course didn't show. My own children are doing great in class. Brayden is started to read more and more each day. He is reading near the end of his grade level. Lyndee knows all of her alphabet and sounds. They finally let her check out a library book. Yippee! Sometimes I wish that they would treat Kindergarten with more rigor toward the middle of the year to get them ready for first. Just my opinion. My house is feeling very neglected and wil...

Day 5 -- Vacation

On Wednesday, our last day in the land of the heat. We went to the Mesa Southwest Museum. I guess it is call the Museum of Natural History. In all my years living in the valley and in Eagar, we never went to this museum. It rocked! I wished that I could take my students there. This room was all black with flourescent lighting. The kids could write on those white board with light wands. Whatever the kids wrote would be gone in about 20-30 seconds. It was pretty cool. I loved the interactive the stuff. I have been wanting to do this for years with my classroom. I have wanted them to create their plays. Then act them out in front of a green screen and then use a computer program to put their scenery in. I think I am going to find a grant and write one! Sister Lou loved being on T.V. We would couldn't drag this little starlet off it. Isn't this cute? They got behind the TV and now they are projected into an old western. They had a part of the old territorial prison in th...
