Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 box instant pudding mix (3.4 oz)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and instant pudding mix until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about two inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly underdone.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for five minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure butter is at room temperature for proper creaming. Measure flour correctly to avoid dry cookies. Underbake slightly for the best texture.
