White Chip Pudding Cookies

1 cup vegetable oil

¹⁄₄ cup sugar 

³⁄₄ cup brown sugar,  firmly packed

1 teaspoon vanilla 

1 (3 ounce) package chocolate instant pudding mix 

2 large eggs 

1teaspoon baking soda 

2 ¹⁄₄ cups self rising flour 

1cup white chocolate chips (more or less to taste)

1cup nuts (optional)

Mix flour and baking soda and set aside.  Then combine butter, sugars, vanilla, and pudding mix in a large mixing bowl and beat until smooth and creamy.  Beat in eggs.  Gradually add flour mixture.  Then stir in chips (batter will be stiff).  Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls on ungreased baking sheet.  (it works well to roll dough in ball and slightly flatten).  Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes.  Makes about 3 dozen cookies

Comments:  These cookies are delicious!  I made a batch to take to the nursing home and believe me they didn't last long.  The nurses all raved about them.
