Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies 🍪
These soft, chewy chocolate chip cookies are absolutely delicious! The secret ingredient is instant vanilla pudding mix, which helps create a wonderfully soft cookie.
Yields aproximately 32 large Cookies
🍪 Ingredients
4½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups salted butter, softened
1½ cups packed brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 tsp salt
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup mini chocolate chips
2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 335°F (175°C). Bake with a water bath for extra soft cookies.
In a bowl, sift together the flour and baking soda. Set aside.
Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, white sugar, pudding mix and salt until well combined.
Step 3: Add Eggs and Vanilla
Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract until combined.
Step 4: Add Dry Ingredients
Gradually mix the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until a cookie dough forms.
Step 5: Add Chocolate Chips
** I like to add 1/2 cup chocolate micro cookie gems, they add visual depth to the cookies.
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and optional chopped walnuts or cookie gems.
Step 6: Scoop the Cookies
Drop rounded spoonfuls of cookie dough using a large cookie scoop onto baking sheets lined with parchment, leaving space between each cookie. Adjust baking time if making smaller cookies.
Step 7: Bake
Bake for 23 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Rotate cookie sheets halfway through baking.
Allow the cookies to cool slightly before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Enjoy! 🍪💕
