Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened, 2 sticks for a cup
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs + 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3.4 ounces vanilla instant pudding mix must be instant
- 2 3/4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips semi sweet, plus extra for decorating
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar and white sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy.
- Add the eggs, extra egg yolk, vanilla extract and mix until combined. Pour in the instant pudding and mix until fully mixed in.
- In a separate bowl add the flour, baking soda and salt and mix to combine. Add this dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix with an electric mixer until a cookie dough forms.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and mix into the dough. Chill the dough for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- With a medium cookie scoop. portion the dough into two tablespoon dough balls. Leave two inches between cookies when placing on the prepared cookie sheet. Top each cookie dough ball with several extra chocolate chips for a prettier finished cookie.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, until they set at the edges are lightly browned. You don’t want to overcook these, it's better to underbake in the middle slightly for a gooier cookie.
- Let the cookies cool for 2-3 minutes on the pan, then transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling completely. Enjoy!

Notes
- I know it can be tempting, but don't skip the chill time. It will give you a thicker cookie and keep the cookies from spreading too quickly.
