Ingredients

½ cup butter softened
½ cup butter flavored shortening
1 cup packed light brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding mix
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
3 cups rolled oats
2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
¾ cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
Next, in a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, shortening, brown and white sugars, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. After that, add in the dry pudding mix and stir to combine.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Then, stir the flour mixture into the creamed butter mixture until just incorporated.
Lastly, add in the oats, chocolate chips, and walnuts then mix until all is well blended.
Next, drop the dough in rounded tablespoons onto the prepared cookie sheets. Feel free to add 4-5 additional chocolate chips to the top of each cookie.
Bake in the oven for 9-11 minutes. Don't overbake, you want the cookies light and golden in color when you pull them from the oven. They'll continue cooking for another minute on the hot cookie sheet.
When done baking, let cool for a few minutes. Serve slightly warm and enjoy!

Notes

Store these baked cookies in an airtight container and they will last 5-7 days.
