Award Winning Soft Chocolate Chip Toffee Cookies

This is a recipe i originally got from cookierecipe.com and modified slightly it to suit our tastes. I was intrigued by the idea of using pudding mix in cookies and the texture is really good. I have substituted butterscotch or coconut cream pudding mix for the vanilla- just about any flavor would work.

Steps

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Sift together flour , baking soda and salt.

Set aside.

Cream together butter , shortening and sugars.

Beat in the pudding mix until well blended.

Add the eggs and vanilla.

Blend in the flour mixture and stir in the chocolate chips and toffee bits , or nuts.

Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased or parchment lined cookie sheets.

Bake 10-12 minutes until golden brown around the edges and soft in the center.

Allow to cool on sheets for a few minutes before removing to racks to cool completely.
