Two Chip Chocolate Chippers

We had a busy weekend celebrating 2 birthdays in my family but I knew I had to  make these.  My friend, Stacy, sent me the recipe last weekend.  The difference in these cookies is pudding in the dough, my son ate a lot as soon as they came out of the oven and said he could taste the vanilla in them.  I will definitely make them again since they lasted a few hours....

~Recipe~
1/2 c butter, softened
1/2 c margarine, softened**I used 1 cup butter....I bake only with butter**
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup while sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
2 1/4 c flour
1 package(3.4 ounce) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
1 1/2 cup chopped pecans*optional*

Cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.  Beat in eggs and vanilla.  COmbine the flour, pudding mix and baking soda and add gradually to the butter mixture.  Stir in the chips and nuts.  Drop by rounded tablespoons onto a ungreased cookie sheet.  Place about 1 inch apart. The recipe says to flatten the dough with a glass, slightly.  I did not do this.  Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes and cool on a wire rack.  The cookies took about 6 1/2 minutes to be golden brown.  It must be the elevation, just make sure to watch the 1st batch to see how long you need to be baking them. Thanks for sharing, Stacy! Enjoy~
