Ingredients

  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter , softened
  • 1 cup (200g) packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 package (3.4-3.9 ounce size) instant vanilla pudding mix (see note)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 ½ cups (186g) flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups (240g) quick cooking oats
  • 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips (see note)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugars until creamy. Add pudding and mix until combined. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat well. Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Stir in the oats and chips.
  • Drop by tablespoonfuls onto your prepared baking sheets. I like to use a 2 tablespoon sized ice cream scoop for this so the cookies will all be the same size. I pressed 2-3 chips on the top of the cookies, for presentation. This is optional!
  • Bake 10-12 minutes. Cool five minutes and then remove from pan to cool completely.

Notes

  • Be sure to use instant pudding mix, not cook 'n serve. This recipe has not been tested with sugar-free pudding. Use a regular 3.4-3.9 ounce box of instant pudding, the mix not the pudding.
  • You can use vanilla, cheesecake, or white chocolate flavor pudding mix.
  • Add in up to 1 cup any kind of chocolate chips or white chocolate, or use raisins or nuts.
