Perfectly Puffy Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies

• 34 cup sugar
• 34 cup brown sugar, packed
• 12 cup butter, at room temperature
• 12 cup Butter Flavor Crisco (stick)
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 (3 1/2 ounce) package instant butterscotch pudding mix
• 12 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon baking soda (see note)
• 3 12 cups flour
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup butterscotch chips

1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugars, butter and Crisco until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla extract.
4. Add pudding mix; stir until incorporated.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of the flour with the baking soda and salt.
6. Blend into the egg mixture.
7. Add additional flour 1/2 to 1 cup at a time until reaching desired consistency.
8. I use a total of 3 to 3 1/2 cups flour, depending on the humidity level of the day.
9. Fold in chocolate chips and butterscotch chips.
10. Drop spoonfuls of dough on cookie sheet.
11. (To achieve a more round, cleaner look, roll the balls of cookie dough in your hand instead of just dropping on the cookie sheet.)
12. Bake exactly 10 minutes, rotating cookie sheet halfway through.
13. The cookies may not look done, but that is the trick to keeping them puffy and soft.
14. Let cookies cool on the cookie sheet on top of wire racks for 5 minutes.
15. Remove from cookie sheets and cool completely on the cooling racks.
16. *RECIPE NOTE: Make sure your baking soda has not been opened over 1 month.
