Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar (lightly packed)
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3.5 oz package instant vanilla pudding mix*
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or baking mats.
  • In a large bowl beat together the butter and sugars until fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  • Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract.
  • With the mixer on low speed mix in the pudding mix, flour, baking soda & salt. Turn off the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • Mix in the chocolate chips. I typically mix in 1 3/4 cups, and reserve 1/4 cup of chocolate chips for dotting the tops of each cookie.
  • Form the dough into balls about 1.5 tablespoons in size. Place 2 inches apart on the lined cookie sheets.
  • Bake 1 cookie sheet at a time for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops are just set.
  • Cool for at least 10 minutes on the baking tray, before transferring to a wire rack to continue cooling.
