Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, or stand-mixer, add the butter, both sugars, pudding mix, eggs and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until creamy and combined.
Gradually add in the flour and baking soda to the mixture. Beating on low speed until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Drop batter by Tablespoons on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for only 9 to 10 minutes. (They may not seem fully baked, but they are. Do not over bake!)
Remove from oven and let cookies rest and cool on the cookie sheets. No need to transfer to wire racks. Serve and enjoy!
