3. Cream the butter and sugars
   In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Add the twist
   Beat in the pudding mix until blended. Then add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well.

5. Combine
   Slowly stir in the flour mixture until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips (and nuts, if using).

6. Scoop and bake
   Drop spoonfuls of dough onto your prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.
