Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies
Description
This recipe blends softened butter with light brown and granulated sugar then incorporates eggs and vanilla extract to form a rich base. Dry ingredients include flour, instant vanilla pudding mix, salt, and baking soda, which create a dough that holds moisture and structure. The pudding mix adds a subtle vanilla flavor and moist crumb that keeps the cookies tender longer.
Once the dough is mixed with chocolate chips, it is portioned into balls spaced on baking sheets and baked at 350ºF. The baking process yields cookies with a balance of a slightly crisp exterior and soft, pudding-enhanced interior texture. The pudding mix gives the cookies a distinctive softness and chewiness compared to traditional chocolate chip cookies. Adjustments to flour can be made if dough feels too soft.
Nutrition information is provided as an estimate due to brand variances and ingredient differences. This recipe produces cookies with classic chocolate chip flavor enhanced with a creamy vanilla goodness from the pudding.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter unsalted
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 .4 instant vanilla pudding mix package size unspecified
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- Cut the butter into 1-tablespoon sized pieces and place in a microwave safe bowl. Heat the butter in a microwave in 15-30 second intervals until the butter is softened, but not completely melted. You’ll probably have some liquid on the edges but the majority of the butter will still be in pieces. But it will be quite soft.
- In a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed until creamed together, 1-2 minutes.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla and beat just until combined.
- Add in the flour, pudding mix, salt and baking soda. Mix until it all comes together. If the dough is still very soft, you can add in more flour, about 1 tablespoon at a time. It should be easy to handle.
- Add the chocolate chips and mix one more time, just until combined.
- Roll the dough into 2-tablespoon sized balls and place on a baking sheet, at least 2-3 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until just set and slightly browned around the edges.
- Cool on the pan for 5 minutes then remove to a cooling rack to cool completely.
