chocolate chip pudding cookies

details

  • Makes 42-44 cookies
  • Prep time: 25 minutes
  • Cook/Cooling time: 20 minutes
ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla (optional)
  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 box (3.4 ounces) vanilla pudding
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in the center.

Prepare two regular sized baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until well combined. Add eggs, one at a time. Add the vanilla, if using.

In a separate bowl combine the flour, pudding mix, baking soda, and salt. Add to the wet mixture and mix until combined. Add the chocolate chips and combine again.

Scoop out tablespoon sized scoops and roll into balls (do not flatten), leaving at least 1.5 inch space between each cookie. (You should be able to have 12 balls per sheet, side by side, so 24 can cook at the same time.)

Bake 8 minutes and remove from the oven. Let cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
