One of our favorite places to be is in the kitchen. We love to bake and cook and it all stemmed from our mom's passion of cooking. She would find a recipe that she loved, and then make it all year long. We used to say, "That was the year of the cheesecakes" or "That was the year of cinnamon rolls." Some of our fondest memories revolve around cooking together in the kitchen. We love to get together as family and contribute our best recipes for the meal. And we are constantly calling each other saying, "You've got to try this recipe!" We'd like to share our favorite recipes with you. So, happy cooking, happy baking, happy eating, and then happy exercising afterwards to burn those calories!

Pudding Chocolate Chip Cookies


When it was my youngest daughter Claire's birthday, her Primary teacher at church (my friend Melinda Hopkins) had made her a baggie with these cookies in it. Claire was sweet enough to share one of the cookies with my oldest daughter Caitlynn. When Caitlynn took a bite she said, "Mom, you HAVE to get this recipe!" I said, "Let me try." Sure enough, I LOVED the way these cookies melted in my mouth. I immediately contacted Claire's teacher and asked for the recipe. We make them every Friday now and just love them!

Pudding Chocolate Chip Cookies

INGREDIENTS:

- 1 cup butter, softened

- 1/4 cup sugar

- 3/4 cup brown sugar

- 3.4 ounce box of vanilla instant pudding

- 1 tsp. baking soda

- 1 tsp. vanilla

- 2 eggs

- 2 1/2 cups flour

- 2 cups chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS: Beat together butter, sugar, brown sugar, pudding mix, baking soda and vanilla. Beat in eggs. Add flour and stir together. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 9 minutes at 375 degrees. (Normally I bake my cookies for 10 minutes...but with these ones, we really like them a little underdone and chewy, so we really just stick with 9 minutes).
