Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies

     Yay! I'm finally writing my first recipe post!

     Everytime I think about doing one, I forget to take any pictures of the food until it's half eaten.

     I found this recipe over at Life as a Lofthouse a while back and pinned it to my dessert Pinterest board but never got around to trying it. I am so glad I finally did! This will be my new go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe.

     These were the perfect soft cookie. Cookies always seem to turn out too crunchy for my liking, or they seem underbaked. I was really skeptical about the bake time because they did not look done but went with it anyway. The bake time was spot on.

     These are in no way a healthy cookie recipe. They are simply indulgent. 

     Here's the link to the original because I can't claim any creative genius behind it: orignal recipe.



     Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies (yields approximately 36 cookies)

  •      1 cup (2sticks) butter, softened
  •      3/4 cup brown sugar
  •      1/4 cup white sugar
  •      1 small pkg instant vanilla pudding
  •      2 eggs
  •      1 tsp vanilla extract
  •      2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  •      1 tsp baking soda
  •      1 pkg 12 oz milk chocolate chips (I substituted semisweet & they were fabulous.)
(My cast of characters. I forgot the baking soda for the picture.)

         Directions:
         Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Beat the butter, sugars, pudding mix, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl until creamy. Slowly mix in flour and baking soda. Stir in chocolate chips.
         Drop by tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for only 9-10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Enjoy!
