In my years of baking, I have never baked chocolate chip cookies. After a lot of begging from my kids, I finally tried the recipe on the back of the Toll House choclate chip bag. The cookies tasted great when they were fresh out of the oven but after they have cooled off, they were HARD and tasted stale to me. The kids would microwave them for a few seconds and they would taste great again. I followed the recipe exactly twice. I wasn't going to use it again because I didn't know how to fix it. Then I saw this recipe with the excellent reviews so I tried it. This recipe is excellent and the secret is the vanilla pudding mix. I used my little cookie scoop and the dough did not spread. I did the same for the Toll House and the cookies spread and flatten out. So, I flatten the cookies out a bit by using a spoon. The dough is very easy to handle. I only used 1-1/2 cups of chocolate chips and added 1 cup of chopped walnuts. Family tasted them and prefer this recipe over Toll House. The cookies stayed soft even after they've cooled off.
