Description

These chocolate chip pudding cookies are soft, chewy, and moist thanks to the addition of instant vanilla pudding mix, making them a delicious twist on the classic chocolate chip cookie.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2½ cups all‑purpose flour
  • 1 (3.4‑ounce) box instant vanilla pudding mix (dry)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1½ cups semi‑sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Cream the butter with brown and granulated sugar on medium speed for 1–2 minutes.
  2. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, instant pudding mix, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly.
  6. Chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C).
  7. Drop dough balls using a tablespoon or 1″ scoop onto a parchment‑lined baking sheet, spacing 2″ apart. Optionally press a few extra chocolate chips on top.
  8. Bake for 10 minutes until edges are set and centers look soft.
  9. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough helps cookies retain shape and enhances flavor.
  • Try different pudding flavors or mix-ins like nuts or toffee bits for variety.
  • Microwaving for 5–10 seconds can revive cookies after a few days.
