In the bowl on an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the margarine with the sugars and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add in the eggs, one at a time, and mix until combined.
Mix in the flour, pudding mix, baking soda, and salt, and mix until combined.
Add in the chocolate chips and mix just until combined, trying not to break up the chips.
Using a 1½ Tbs. size cookie scoop or spoon, scoop cookie dough onto parchment lined cookie sheet and bake for 8-11 minutes until edges are lightly browned. Remove from oven and let cookies cool on baking sheet to firm up a bit. Enjoy!
