Okay, hiwigo...

JOE’S COOKIES:

MIX:

2 eggs (without the shells)
1 cup any kind or combination of sugar
one 4-oz. Package of instant pudding (1)
1 tsp. Baking soda
1 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Vanilla (2)
½ to 1 tsp. Cinnamon
½ to 1 tsp. Ginger
½ tsp. Water
2 cubes (1/2 lb.) butter, microwaved (3)

Mix with big spoon until the consistency of baby poop.

ADD:

2-1/4 cups flour (any kind)

MIX SOME MORE, AND ADD:

½ of 12-oz. bag (don’t want to be greedy) chocolate chips (4)

MIX SOME MORE, AND ADD AS MUCH AS YOU WANT OF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:

Nuts (any kind)
Coconut
Oatmeal (the “old-fashioned” kind works best)
Raisins
Dried cranberries
M&Ms

BAKE AT A LITTLE OVER 300 DEGREES FOR ABOUT 18 MINUTES.
MAKES ABOUT 5 DOZEN COOKIES (5).

NOTES:

(1) I usually use vanilla pudding, but any kind works. When I use chocolate pudding, I put in white chips so you can see ‘em. Pistachio pudding for St. Patrick’s Day, that sort of thing.
(2) Does not have to be vanilla. I regularly use almond or peppermint extract instead. I always use the real stuff, though.
(3) For 35 seconds on high. If you’re feeling cheap, go ahead and substitute margarine.
(4) Hey, you can use anything. White chips, peanut butter chips, raisins (some people are allergic to chocolate, poor souls), and so on.
(5) The more Other Stuff you add, the more cookies you end up with.

IF YOU'RE FEELING REALLY LAZY, dump the batter in a greased 9x13 pan and bake roughly 28 minutes at 325-350 degrees (gotta watch it). Makes "cookie cake." It's done when you can poke a knife in and it doesn't come out with any batter on it (just melted chocolate).

ARE WE HAVING FUN YET?
