Pudding Batter Cookies

These cookies ROCKED.  They are very simple, nothing fancy about them, but this is what I thought made them so great.  They are the perfect base cookie and I definitely plan on trying to do more with them soon.  They are soft and fluffy and buttery, which means I ate 20 of them in one sitting. Mmmmmm

What you'll need: 

• 1-1/2 sticks butter 
• 3/4 cups brown sugar
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 oz)
• 3/4 dry yellow cake mix
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2-1/4 cups flour 
• 1/2 tsp salt 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Stir together flour, salt, and baking soda.  Separately cream butter and sugar.  Add the pudding/cake mix, eggs, and vanilla to the butter mixture. Slowly add the flour mixture.  Roll into 1" balls and place on a greased baking sheet.  Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.
