Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies
These delicious chocolate chip cookies have vanilla pudding in the cookie dough, which makes for an extra moist, soft, and flavorful cookie!
Ingredients
- 4½ cup All Purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt (If using salted butter, no need to use the salt.)
- 4 sticks unsalted butter, softened (This is 2 cups)
- 1½ cups light brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 (3.4 oz) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
- 4 cups semisweet chocolate chips (adjust amount to your liking)
- 2 cups chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Sift together the all purpose flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside. (If you do not have a sifter, whisk the ingredients until well blended.)
- Next, in a large bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar with an electric mixer. Add the instant pudding mix, mixing until combined.
- Next, stir in the eggs and vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture, gently stirring until blended. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips (and nuts if using nuts).
- Drop the cookie dough in rounded spoonfuls onto the ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Edges will turn golden brown. Makes about 6 dozen.
- Move the cookies to a cooling rack to cool. Then, store in an airtight container.
Notes
Once cooled completely, these cookies can be frozen in an airtight container or ziplock bag for up to three months!
