Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 package (3.4 oz) vanilla pudding mix
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and sugar in a large mixing bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This helps to incorporate air into the dough, creating a light texture.
- Add the vanilla pudding mix, vanilla extract, and eggs to the creamed mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined. The pudding mix is the secret ingredient that makes these cookies extra soft and moist.
- In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
- Stir in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure the cookies are spaced adequately apart to prevent them from merging during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Be careful not to overbake; the cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
