Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever!

So recently I have become obsessed with Paradise Bakery's Chocolate Chip cookies.  I made this recipe today, and they are very close!

Super Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies
*4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
*2 teaspoons baking soda
*2 cups butter, softened (I used Blue Bonnet)
*1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
*1/2 cup white sugar
*2 (3.4 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
*4 eggs
*2 teaspoons vanilla extract
*4 cups semisweet baking chocolate, chopped into small chunks

Makes 4 Dozen Cookies - very large batch!

DIRECTIONS
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the
flour and baking soda, set aside.
2.In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white
sugar. Beat in the instant pudding mix until blended. Stir in the eggs and vanilla.
Blend in the flour mixture. Finally, stir in the chocolate chunks. Let stand for 10 min. or so for chocolate to soak up the butter.
Drop cookies by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
3.Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven.

They stay super soft with the pudding mix in there & the chocolate doesn't get all hard & gross. I love them!
