When baking this chocolate chip cookie recipe, I am a stickler for using one stick of butter and one stick of margarine—the combination of fats gives the cookies terrific texture. And do not use a scooper—the tool compacts the cookies too much. —Lee Ann Miller, Millersburg, Ohio

Ingredients:
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup stick margarine, softened
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1-1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
•
• 1-1/2 cups chopped pecans, optional

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, cream butter, margarine and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine flour, pudding mix and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips and pecans if desired.

2. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 1 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets; flatten slightly with a glass. Bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks.
