Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies

I am on a cookie kick.  I keep thinking I will switch to a pie kick, because it is Thanksgiving this week...but no.  I just want to make cookies.  There are so many good ones out there, and I have this need to try all of them.  I am going to be chubby forever.  :(  But I do get to eat yummy cookies along the way, so... :). 

These cookies are made with Chocolate pudding mix...they are so yummy.  They taste brown-sugarery.  (Yes...I just made that a word...sugarery.)  Try em'.  You'll like em'.
