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.) |
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!
