2 large eggs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease baking sheets, or line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and pudding mix; whisk together to mix. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine sugar and butter; cream together until mixture appears light and fluffy. Add eggs; beat until thoroughly mixed. Stir in milk and vanilla. Add sifted flour mixture; stir until mixed. Add nuts and chocolate chips; stir to mix.
