Step Two: Take the sticks of butter and place them in another large bowl.

Then melt the butter for 30 seconds to soften it.

Once the butter is melted, it is time to add the sugars.

Add 1/4 cup of white sugar

Then add the 3/4 cup of brown sugar

Then add the pudding mix. Wondering why we’re adding pudding mix? Trina claims it leaves the cookies soft for weeks. I’m not sure because when we made the cookies they last only a few days.

Once you’ve added the pudding mix it is time to stir again.

Now it’s time to add the 2 eggs and 1 tsp. of vanilla extract.

Of course, it’s time to stir again!

Now, after you’ve stirred the ingredients well, it is time to add in the flour mixture you made before.

Be sure to stir as your pour the flour in.

As you gradually add the flour and mix, the dough will form. 

Now, this cookie mix is made so you can add whatever type of cookie you want. We chose to add in chocolate chips and toffee bits. These were the original ingredients, but I know Trina has used this recipe for several other cookies. She suggests if you are doing a combo of chips and nuts to do one whole bag of chips and half a bag of nuts. For our recipe we did about half and half.

Look at those yummy chocolate chips!

We added some toffee bits!

Alright, once the mix is complete, start playing a tablespoon of cookie mix on the cookie sheets. As you can see, we use an ice cream scoop to do so.

Once you’ve got them laid out, it’s time to bake! Put them in for 8-10 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

They come out looking (and tasting) delicious!
