1 cup self-rising flour
1 package (3.4 oz) instant pudding mix, Vanilla or French Vanilla
1 egg, lightly beaten
5 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Combine first 4 ingredients; stir until well mixed. Stir or knead in chocolate chips. With hands, form small balls of dough; place on unbaked baking sheet. These cookies don't spread, so you may want to flatten a bit.
Bake in preheated 350° oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Makes 1 to 2 dozen, depending on size.
Variations: Try different pudding flavors, butterscotch or peanut butter chips, or nuts
