"Secret Ingredient" Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

2 sticks butter
C.light brown sugar
C. Sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla (almond extract works well too!)
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
2 C. flour
1 package chocolate chips (vary with other chip flavors, nuts, fruits, candies have your kids make their own mix of multiple flavors!)
SECRET INGREDIENT (1 package vanilla instant pudding)

Mix butter and sugar together, then add vanilla and eggs.

Mix in, in order:
1. Flour
2. Salt
3. Baking soda
4. SECRET INGREDIENT (this is where you have some fun: take the pudding packet out of the box and don't let your "helpers" see the pudding. All they'll see is a small packet in brown paper and you can have fun for years to come with Mom's secret recipe!)
5. Chips, fruits, candies

Bake at 450 for 8-10 mins. Take the cookies out just as they begin to turn brown.
