Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies


If you’re a fan of classic chocolate chip cookies, you’ll definitely want to try this recipe for Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies. This twist on the classic recipe includes a box of vanilla instant pudding mix which adds an extra level of flavor and texture to the cookies. Plus, the addition of pudding mix helps keep these cookies soft and chewy even after they’ve cooled.


To make these cookies, start by mixing together the dry ingredients in a medium bowl – flour, baking soda, salt, and instant pudding mix. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and regular sugar until smooth, then beat in the eggs and vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter sugar mixture, mixing until well combined. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips.


One of the great things about this recipe is that you can chill the cookie dough for 20 to 30 minutes before baking if you prefer, which helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much. But if you’re short on time, you can skip the chilling step and still get delicious cookies.
