Chocolate Chip No-Bake cookies

What's a girl got to do to get some cookies???

 I have been dying to bake cookies, but with heat index in the 100's I really don't want to turn on the oven. While searching through my Sweets Board on Pinterest, I found a recipe for Vanilla Oatmeal No-Bake Cookies. I really wanted Chocolate Chip cookies though. 

With a little conjuring I came up with..... 

 

Chocolate Chip No-Bake Cookies

1/2 c. sugar

1 1/2 c. brown sugar

3/4 c. butter 

2/3 c. milk

1 (3.4 oz.) box instant vanilla flavor pudding mix 

(I used sugar free, because it is what I had on hand)

3 1/2 c. quick cooking oats

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

In a large pan, mix together the sugar, butter and the milk. Bring to a boil. Boil 2 minutes. Turn off the heat, add in the pudding mix, oats and baking soda. Let stand 5-10 minutes*, and stir in chocolate chips. Drop by tablespoon onto wax paper and let cool. Store in an airtight container.

 

*This is a key step. I didn't let my mixture cool long enough so when I mixed in the chocolate chips, they melted instantly.
