Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (or vegan butter), softened
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 (3.4-ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350Β°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In another bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
- Add the pudding mix, vanilla extract, and eggs to the creamed mixture; beat on high until fluffy (2-3 minutes).
- Gradually add half of the dry ingredients to the wet mixture on low speed; once combined, add the remaining dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips using a rubber spatula.
- Drop dough balls onto the prepared cookie sheet using a large cookie scoop or measuring cup.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until slightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center. Let cool on the baking sheet for two minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
