Make incredibly soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies using instant pudding mix for a moist texture that lasts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. Add the dry pudding mix to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  7. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underdone.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra chewy cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
  • You can substitute instant chocolate pudding mix for a chocolate version of these cookies.
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container to maintain softness.
