Double Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies
Description
This recipe adds instant chocolate pudding mix to a classic chocolate chip cookie dough, enhancing moisture and softness. Butter and sugars creamed together form a rich base, which is combined with eggs and vanilla for flavor. Flour and baking soda provide structure and leavening, while chocolate chips and optional nuts add texture and chocolate intensity.
Shaping dough into spoonfuls spaced evenly on parchment-paper-lined sheets allows for even cooking. Baking at 375°F for 8-10 minutes develops slightly crisp edges but preserves a tender, chewy middle. Cooling on the baking sheet before transferring helps the cookies hold together and finish setting without crumbling.
Portioning with a small cookie scoop ensures uniform cookie size and appearance, which is useful for sharing or events. The recipe suggests freezing baked cookies for up to three months and storing leftovers in airtight containers for several days.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (softened)
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar (packed)

Notes
- Using a small cookie scoop helps produce evenly sized cookies for consistent baking and presentation.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for five minutes before moving them to a cooling rack to keep them intact.
- Baked cookies can be frozen in airtight containers for up to three months without losing texture.
- Store cookies in sealed bags or containers at room temperature for up to five days for best freshness.
