Description
With the addition of instant pudding mix, these Chocolate Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies are incredibly soft and deliciously decadent.
Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Combine wet ingredients: Using a stand mixer or handheld mixer, beat the butter and sugars until creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat until just combined. The batter will be lumpy.
- Add the dry ingredients: With the mixer on low, add the flour, pudding mix, baking soda, and kosher salt. Beat until the batter is combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix on low until just combined.
- Form cookies: Form the batter into balls that are slightly larger than golf balls. Use a large cookie scoop to form the perfect cookies. Transfer to the prepared baking sheets and place about 3 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies: Bake the cookies for 13-15 minutes. Don't overbake the cookies. They should be puffy and just set.
- Cool the cookies: Let the cookies cool for 3-4 minutes on the pan. Transfer to a cooling rack.
- Store the cookies: Store the cookies airtight at room temperature for up to 4 days.
Notes
Line the baking sheet ~ So the cookies don't spread out too much and they bake evenly, line the baking sheet with parchment paper. This also eliminates the need to grease the pan and makes clean up easy.
Use a cool baking sheet ~ Before adding the cookie dough balls to the cookie sheet, make sure it's cool. Using a hot pan will cause the cookies to flatten out and they can bake together.
Perfect cookies ~ Use a large cookie scoop to portion out the cookie batter. When the individual cookie batter balls are made with a scoop, it saves time, the cookies bake more evenly, look professional, and come out the same size.
Don't overbake the cookies ~ For the perfect soft cookie, don't overbake them. They should be puffy, just set and the tops should no longer have a glossy sheen.
