tollhouse cookies

My friend Stephanie shared this awesome cookie recipe with me!

Tollhouse Recipe except instead of 3/4 cup white sugar you only use 1/4 cup. And then you add a small package of vanilla pudding mix (the 4 serving size). So basically you just swap 1/2 cup white sugar for the pudding mix.

SO GOOD!

AND- Anne mixes the batter, makes them into little balls, freezes them on a cookie sheet and then puts them in a ziplock bag for later or to give as a gift!
