Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
- Add the dry instant pudding mix, flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Using instant pudding mix is the secret to keeping these cookies moist for days.
- For a different flavor, substitute the chocolate chips with holiday sprinkles for Christmas sprinkle pudding cookies.
- If you are interested in structured eating, look into meal planning options instead of relying on meal delivery companies.
