Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a mixing bowl, cream butter, sugars and pudding mix.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add vanilla.
In a separate bowl, combine flour and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture.
Stir in chocolate chips and baking bits.
Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto uncreased baking sheets.
Bake for 8-10 minutes.
Remove to wire racks to cool.

Don't Overmix: When incorporating the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, avoid overmixing the dough. Overmixing can result in tough cookies. Instead, mix until the flour is just combined to ensure a tender and chewy texture.
Chill the Dough: For cookies with a thicker texture and better flavor development, consider chilling the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before baking. Chilling helps solidify the fats in the dough, preventing the cookies from spreading too much during baking and resulting in a chewier texture.
Customize Mix-Ins: Feel free to customize the mix-ins to your preference. While this recipe calls for semi-sweet chocolate chips and M&Ms baking bits, you can experiment with different types of chocolate, nuts, or dried fruits. White chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even peanut butter chips would all be delicious additions to these triple chocolate pudding cookies.
