Make the best homemade cookies that stay incredibly soft and chewy using instant pudding mix. This recipe delivers bakery-style chocolate chip cookies easily.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the instant vanilla pudding mix until combined. This is the secret to moist chocolate chip cookies.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft. For soft baked cookies, err on the side of underbaking.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • To keep your cookies soft longer, store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • You can substitute the chocolate chips with holiday sprinkles for sprinkle cookies recipe variations.
  • For a chewier cookie recipe, slightly reduce the baking time.
