Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Jenna had the non-meat dish this month.  She chose to make Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough balls for everyone.  Here is her recipe:

Chocolate Chip Cookies-Makes 6 dozen

4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 cups butter, softened

1/2 c. white sugar

2 t. vanilla extract

2 (3.4 oz.) packages instant vanilla pudding mix

2 t. baking soda

1 1/2 c. packed brown sugar

4 large eggs

4 cups semi sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350. Sift together the flour and baking soda, set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Beat in the pudding mix until blended. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Blend in the flour mixture.

Stir in the chocolate chips. Drop cookies by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes in the preheated oven. Edges should be golden brown.
