Notes
- Butter: I like to use salted butter in this recipe. The butter should dent when pressed but shouldn't be warm or smooshy. Letting the butter sit out for 30 minutes is usually about right for these cookies.
- Pudding mix: You will want the vanilla instant pudding mix, not the cook and serve. Also, you're using only the dry mix, not making the pudding and then using it.
- Flour: To properly measure flour, be sure to sift or fluff your flour prior to measuring to avoid getting too much flour in the dough. Too much flour will make for crumbly or doughy cookie without much flavor.
- Chocolate chips: I use semisweet, but you could use milk, bittersweet, or even white chocolate chips.
- Baking: The cookies should look soft and slightly underdone when you take them out. This helps to keep the cookies soft.
