- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter , softened
- ¾ cup (150g) packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 (3.4-3.9 ounce) box Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups (155g) all purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups (255g) chocolate chips
Note: This dough requires chilling.
Cream butter and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. (You can also use a hand mixer.) Mix in egg and vanilla until smooth. Add pudding mix, baking soda, and salt. Mix until combined. Mix in flour, then stir chocolate chips or other mix-ins.
Scoop 2 tablespoon balls of cookie dough onto a cookie sheet covered with parchment or a silpat baking mat. There’s no need to space them out, you’re going to chill them. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silpat baking mats. Place chilled cookie dough balls 2” apart on cookie sheet. Bake 9-11 minutes or until the edges just start to turn brown. Cool 5 minutes on cookie sheet before transferring to a rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to one month.
- Use the powder mix, not actual pudding. Only use instant, not cook 'n serve, and I don't recommend sugar free pudding mix.
- Most pudding mix comes in two sizes: small and large. Use the smaller size, which is about 3-4 ounces.
- You can use ANY flavor instant pudding to change up the cookie flavor
- Use any mix-ins (up to 1 1/2 cups total)
